Originally telecast on September 18, 1965, and was Rod Serling's only TV western. He wrote about half of the episodes before "withdrawing" from the series, because CBS complained there wasn't enough "action" happening during his scripts, and that it was "too cerebral" {that is, more social consicous than most westerns}, and Rod ended up bitterly disappointed about the whole thing. The ratings finished the series [opposite NBC's "SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES" and ABC's "HOLLYWOOD PALACE"].
Bless you for posting this and other episodes of "The Loner." It's absolutely ridiculous that it isn't available on DVD. It should have lasted more than one season.
Thanks for taking the time to post episodes of this wonderful series.

I wonder how Serling would feel to know that almost 15,000 people tuned in to see this without a scrap of advertising or promotion?

Just a "piece of fabric", I don´t think so.
Many people sacrifised their lives for that
