In this episode from the first season of this classic TV Western, Tirza, a beautiful gypsy girl (Susan Harrison) is accused of being a witch by the rest of her clan. They stake her out spreadeagled on the ground and prepare to brand her with a red hot horseshoe. A glass vial sitting in the fire explodes right before the horseshoe can burn her skin, which distracts the clan members long enough for Little Joe to rescue her. Still a pretty racy episode for 1960.
