Worth the price of purchase alone is guest star Frankie Avalon, as "punk kid" Billy Farragut, taking on series costar Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates. "Come on, big boy," Billy challenges. "Let's see what you can do. You're like a bug hunk of wood that needs chopping." Billy's grandmother, Elizabeth Farragut, holds court in Farragut City at the Farragut Motel, just down the street from Farragut Food and Grain ("Kinda tiresome, sheriff?" Rowdy asks, "Never sayin' anything but Farragut?"). She compels trail boss Gil Favor (Eric Fleming) to hire her "wild, selfish, irresponsible" grandson to instill in him some discipline. Billy does not ingratiate himself with the crew ("I don't shake hands with a stinking drover, now or anytime"). He does form an unexpected friendship with the simple-hearted Mushie, but don't go thinking this is going to be like that Andy Griffith episode in which bratty Bill Bixby renounces his spoiled ways. The frontier ain't Mayberry. If you purposely start a cattle stampede, you're going to get what you deserve. Outside of some priceless double takes and whooping Frankie, Eastwood doesn't have much to do in this episode, but Rawhide collectors will still want to add this vintage episode to the herd. --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars Rawhide Rocks!, July 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rawhide: Incident at Farragut Pass [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Another good episode. This episode is mostly about this young punk. The young punk kid unfairly roughs up Rowdy in a bar with two other punks, and after you see that you can't wait for Rowdy to settle the score. Everyone is great as usual. The trailboss has to go into town, and it's great to see how he reluctantly does this because he's not used to or into paperwork. There is some tension in this episode as the boy pushes his luck by antagonizing the crew.
There were 217 (one report is over 250) episodes of Rawhide! They should all be available, if not on DVD, then at least on VHS. Rawhide is first class all the way.
As another reviewer stated 'Not from a pc era ... proof of the golden days of the western and Clint Eastwood'
