A terrific episode, well directed and well acted, with some production value. Vic Morrow (Combat!) stars as a young Army engineer in the old west. He's fallen for a beautiful woman. She won't marry him unless he can find a way to make more money. The girl's uncle then comes to him with a plan: he'll give the handsome young Army engineer $5,000 in exchange for a copy of the Army's engineering reports on the best route for the railroad to go west and on to California. The Army lieutenant is torn between honor, duty and love. Solid acting by Morrow enhanced by some location shooting as the Army surveys the countryside, a man falls off a cliff and there's even a shootout! In black and white, the show was hosted by Rory Calhoun from inside a studio set. This is one of the best episodes of the series I've run across.
