It's an unusual group of outlaws that the Rangers are dealing with in this Laredo story. It's a group of former French army officers who lost employ when the French took their army out of Mexico and Maximilian could not sustain his empire.

This episode involves Neville Brand going undercover as an outlaw and seeking to work with the French Lancers who are commanded by Emile Genest. Seeing the rough and rambunctious Reese Bennett with those cultured Frenchmen is really something. He might be a useful ally but boy does he grate on them.

Brand also finds that that French champagne really has a kick to it.

Very funny story. Even the French might find it amusing.

Chad (Peter Brown) and Joe (William Smith) trick Reese (Neville Brand) into volunteering for a "special assignment" - cleaning out the stable. Then, Parmalee (Philip Carey) lets Chad and Joe go out on the more desirable task of securing an army payroll. After Chad and Joe lose the payroll to French soldiers, Reese joins them in fighting for its recovery. His fellow Rangers dupe Reese into believing that, following the mission, he is to receive the "Governor's Gold Medal", for bravery...

This episode is strong on characterization, but sloppily staged.
