- On the way to meet Favor Rowdy, Quince, and Hey Soos buy some cattle of their own from Harvey Calvin. Calvin's son with a crippled leg has learned to doctor animals but wants to be a drover. Rowdy resists but he tries facing new problems.
- Stopped at a ranch to buy 18 cattle for themselves, Rowdy, Quince and Hey Soo come across a boy with a crippled leg who wants to join the herd as a drover. Though extremely capable as a budding doctor, he dreams of becoming a drover despite his leg (actually because of his leg). Rowdy won't take him along, but the kid disobeys and follows anyway. Before Rowdy can send the kid home, some friendly Mexican bandits hold up the three drovers, take their 18 steers and kidnap the kid for a ransom from his family. Rowdy wounds one of the bandits as he rides off with the kid. Waiting for the ransom, the kid and the bandit bond and discuss their past misfortunes. They learn that past hates and misfortunes shouldn't twist their current pursuits. The kid even mends the bandit's wound, and concludes that he would be a poor drover, that pursing that career was due to misplaced pride. Eventually Rowdy, Quince and Hey Soos confront the bandits.—chipe
- Rowdy, Quince, and Hey Soos are on the way to meet Favor at Horsehead Crossing for the start of a new drive. When they spot some well feed cattle, they decide to pool their funds and buy a few head to sell themselves. The ranches in the area have been struck by Mexican bandits so the men initially are not warmly received. Once the Calvin's fears are settled, they strike a deal for twenty head. Calvin's son has a deformed leg and Rowdy learns he is self-taught in doctoring animals. Johnny's desire, however, is to be a drover. Rowdy refuses to take him along but Johnny comes later anyway. When Rowdy still says no, Johnny leaves but is captured by the bandits. Johnny tells about Rowdy and their herd so the bandits steal the three men's horses and herd while telling them to ask Johnny's dad for $2,000 ransom. Instead the men borrow horses at a nearby ranch and track the bandits. The wounded leader and the men have been giving Johnny a hard time. While the men go for medical help, the drovers are able with Johnny's help to regain their stolen property while Johnny uses his medical skills on the wounded man proving he can be more than a drover.
