00:00The Rifleman
00:06Starring Chuck Connors
00:30You were leaving us, Earl?
00:36Taking a little trip on the stage, Coach Mike.
00:39What you gonna do?
00:40Meeting some friends.
00:42Engine Adams and Roy Thursday.
00:45What are you boys up to this time?
00:48I'll tell you.
00:50But if you pass it on to the law, I'll deny saying it.
00:54We gonna kill as a man.
00:56We gonna kill as a big man.
00:58A big man.
01:00With a big mouth.
01:04Howdy, man.
01:19Ow!
01:20Sorry, sir.
01:22Paul, why can't I get my hair cut downtown like you?
01:26Well, we could only afford one store-bought haircut this month, son.
01:33Paul?
01:34Hmm?
01:35Can I ask you a question?
01:37Well, just so you hold your head still.
01:40What do you want to ask me?
01:42Well, it ain't easy to ask.
01:44I've been meaning to ask you for a long time.
01:46Sounds important.
01:48Why don't you ask and get her over with?
01:50Well, do you...
01:53Have you ever thought of marrying another woman?
01:57Marrying a...
01:58What made you think of that?
02:01Well, like I said, I've been thinking of it quite a spell.
02:05Yes, I'd like to take another wife someday.
02:16That's natural.
02:17When?
02:17When I find the right woman.
02:21Well, how'll you know her?
02:23I think I'll know her when I meet her, son.
02:27What'll she be like?
02:29Well, she'll have to cook and sew and scrub.
02:33But her hand's got to be soft.
02:37She's got to have hair like primson as the setting sun.
02:40Her eyes as brown as chestnuts.
02:43You've got to wear a flower, because that's womanly.
02:45And she'll have to ride a horse like a man.
02:48A woman like that's going to be kind of hard to find, ain't she, Paul?
02:52Very hard to find, son.
02:54Look, you better get washed up.
02:56We'll go downtown and pick up the material for that new shed, huh?
03:00Here we go.
03:03Don't want you to set out a cake of ten pennies for me.
03:13And I'll take a penny's worth of that licorice.
03:15Oh.
03:16We'll do it.
03:17I'll take gas for this licorice.
03:20Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:23I'm on time for a change.
03:33Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:47Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:49Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:50Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:51Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:52Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:53Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:54Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:55Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:56Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:57Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:58Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
03:59Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
04:00Oh, here comes the stagecoach.
04:01Hello.
04:28Hello.
04:29Come on over.
04:31I won't bite you.
04:43What's your name?
04:44Mark McCain.
04:46Mark?
04:47Well, that's from the Bible.
04:48Yes, ma'am.
04:49Kind of runs in the family.
04:51I have an uncle named Abraham.
04:53My grandmother's name was Ruth, and my pa's name is Lucas.
04:56That's long for Luke, I think.
04:58Well, I have two brothers named Joshua and Peter, and my name's Rebecca.
05:04It runs in my family, too.
05:07Are you visiting someone here in town?
05:09No.
05:10No, I live here.
05:11But I've been visiting relatives in Kansas.
05:14Ma'am, do you have a husband?
05:26Do I have what?
05:27Do you have a husband?
05:30Well, no.
05:32No, not yet.
05:34But I hope to have one someday.
05:35I hope to have a husband and a boy exactly like you.
05:40Do you really mean that?
05:42Of course I do.
05:44Can I ask you something else?
05:46Go right ahead.
05:47Do you ride a horse?
05:48Well, I ride a horse very well, thank you.
05:53I can outrace both of my brothers.
05:55You wait here, ma'am.
05:56I'll be right back.
05:57Oh, can I help you, mister?
06:12Uh, where can I rent a horse?
06:14Down at the blacksmith's down the street there.
06:16Uh, I'm, uh, looking for a man.
06:18Uh, a big man.
06:20He lives somewhere around here.
06:23His, uh, name's Lucas McCain.
06:26Pa?
06:27Huh?
06:28Well, you'd better come with me.
06:29Well, what is it?
06:30Well, come on.
06:35Mr. Decker, I'd like you to meet up with my pa.
06:40Howdy, ma'am.
06:42I'm Lucas McCain.
06:45I'm Rebecca Snyder.
06:48Seems to be a nice day for traveling.
06:52Uh, yes.
06:53Yes, it's, it's a very nice day.
06:58Are you leaving or just getting here?
07:01She lives here, pa.
07:03Says she'd like to get married and have a boy something like me.
07:06Mark.
07:12You have quite a lad, Mr. McCain.
07:15He's a, he's a fair boy.
07:18My pa ain't married either, ma'am.
07:20My wife passed away.
07:26Oh.
07:28Well, it was nice meeting you, ma'am.
07:30My pleasure.
07:33Come along, son.
07:35Excuse me.
07:41Who was that?
07:43What do you want?
07:44You know what I think?
07:45I think he was using his own son just to meet me.
07:51You know, I have a strong feeling you had notions about me courting that girl.
07:55She's sure pretty.
07:56Prettiest girl I ever seen.
07:58But a shade young.
07:59She'd make you a better sister than mother.
08:01She's full grown.
08:02That girl is nearer your age than mine, boy.
08:05She is?
08:06She is.
08:07Now, let's not do anything like that again, huh?
08:09Yes, pa.
08:10She sure did fit.
08:12Crimson hair, chestnut eyes.
08:16Wears flowers, got soft hands.
08:19She rides a horse like a man, too.
08:21How'd you find that out?
08:24I asked her.
08:27Of course, I didn't ask her about cooking and such, because all women do that.
08:32Run along and tend the team, son.
08:34I've got to take Razor down and have his shoe looked at.
08:36Yes, pa.
08:42Big man with a big mouth.
08:51Hello, Nels.
08:58Hello, Lucas.
08:59Can you take a look at his right French shoe?
09:01Yeah, I'll leave him a spell.
09:02All right.
09:03I'll fix it as quick as I can.
09:05Come on, Paula.
09:09Oh, Lucas.
09:10Oh, hi, Mike.
09:12I thought maybe you'd better know this.
09:14Snipe boy's been asking questions about you.
09:16Of who?
09:17The Snipe brothers.
09:19I don't think I know them.
09:20They got us spread about 40 miles north of town.
09:23Don't visit us very often, and we like that.
09:26Oh, there are a couple of wild ones.
09:28Wild ones?
09:29Oh, they never break the law more than spending a Saturday night in jail.
09:32But they're a rougher than a bronc.
09:34If they're again, yeah, it's just too bad.
09:38If they like you, you generally end up in trouble, because you know them.
09:42You just can't win.
09:44I wonder why they're interested in me.
09:46Well, if I find out, I'll let you know.
09:48All right.
09:50Here you are, Lucas.
09:57Everything's ready for you, and I've already entered it in the book.
10:00Fine, honey.
10:01Say, there was a fellow in here asking about you.
10:04Yeah, I know.
10:05Mike had told me.
10:06Oh, Lucas, are you going to be walking past the depot?
10:09Mm-hmm.
10:09Well, there was a young lady in here a minute ago, and she bought this sewing stand, and
10:13then she went off without it.
10:14I see her over there standing in front of the depot.
10:16Would you mind handing it to her as you go past?
10:18I'd be happy to.
10:20Thanks, Lucas.
10:21You're welcome.
10:22Bye.
10:23Bye.
10:25Mr. McCain.
10:26I believe that's mine.
10:29Oh, Lisa, I was just bringing it to you.
10:33Not knowing who it belonged to?
10:34Well, Hattie in the store told me to give it to the lady in front of the depot.
10:37Well, I guess you forgot to mention which one.
10:46Well, thank you, Mr. McCain.
10:47I'll save you the trip.
10:56Howdy.
10:58Hello.
10:59I'm Joshua Snipin.
11:01This here's my brother, Peter.
11:03Well, what can I do for you boys?
11:04Well, we want to get better acquainted.
11:06Buy you a drink.
11:07Only it'll have to be milk, because we ain't allowed in the saloon for this town.
11:11Here with Josh.
11:13I appreciate the offer, boys.
11:16Now, we'd consider it downright unnaborly if you won't take the time to join us in the
11:20drink.
11:22Won't take more than five minutes, will it, Josh?
11:26All right.
11:27Fine.
11:28Step on over here.
11:29Right in here.
11:39Will it be?
11:40Cow, goat.
11:42Cow.
11:43Two cows.
11:44Half and half.
11:45I like cow better, Josh, but that goat milk sure is good for a man's eat.
11:49Sorry we can't offer you something with a little more bite.
11:51It's all right.
11:52I'm not much in a hard look at myself.
11:55We're glad to hear that.
11:56Mighty glad.
11:57You all right?
12:06To the flag.
12:08The flag.
12:11To the flag.
12:13To the flag.
12:22Now then, I understand you've got a fair to midland spread south of here.
12:26My boy and me like it.
12:29How much a year do you figure to clear on that place?
12:32That's a personal question, mister.
12:34Oh, I reckon it's some personal, but if you aim and to set your sights on our sister, we've
12:38got to know something about you.
12:40If I'm what?
12:43Rebecca's our sister.
12:44Ain't she, Josh?
12:45Rebecca?
12:46Oh, you mean the little girl over at the depot?
12:48And the one out on the street just now.
12:50Now, you've been bird-dogging after her ever since she lit off on that stage.
12:54Now, let's hold her a minute.
12:55She's very pretty and she looks like a nice girl.
12:56Let me just point out a minute.
12:57But I haven't got any sights on her.
13:02Now, we're not aiming to scare you away, mister.
13:04Fact is, it's time Rebecca started thinking about her husband.
13:07But we've got to be sure about who he is.
13:09I haven't got any intentions towards your sister, gentlemen.
13:14None.
13:16None.
13:18None.
13:28Ready to travel, Paul?
13:30Hmm?
13:32Lucas, boy.
13:33I don't like her.
13:34Just met the Sniper brothers.
13:36This seems to be a day for folks to be asking questions about you.
13:39Huh?
13:40Another customer.
13:41He's real curious.
13:42Who?
13:43The fellow's sitting over there on the sidewalk.
13:48I noticed him before.
13:50Who is he?
13:51Complete stranger.
13:52Says his name is Earl Battle.
13:53I never saw him before.
13:57What kind of questions?
13:59Personal things like where do you live?
14:01How do you get there?
14:04Like you said, folks are real nosy about me today.
14:06I'm Lucas McCain.
14:15How are you?
14:16I'm Earl Battle.
14:18I hear you've been asking questions.
14:20Uh-huh.
14:21Now, why don't you ask me?
14:22I know more about me than anyone else.
14:24Found out.
14:25All I want to know.
14:27For what reason?
14:28I just like to ask questions.
14:30It ain't against the law to ask questions.
14:32Now, is it?
14:34Now, you wouldn't shoot me with that rifle.
14:36For just asking questions, now would you?
14:38I don't know what you've got in mind, mister.
14:41But from now on, I'll have an eye on you.
14:43Roy Thursday told me to say hello to you.
14:54Let's go, son.
14:54You ride on ahead, son.
15:15I'll pick up Razor and catch up with you down the road.
15:17Yes, Paul.
15:17Ah!
15:24Ready yet, Nils?
15:29Not yet, Lucas.
15:30That right hind was about to throw, so I fixed it, too.
15:33Be a few minutes.
15:43It looked like him.
15:50Sit down.
15:51Watch a good man work.
15:54He's in the Black Smiths.
16:16I thought I saw him.
16:19Street seems kind of empty, don't it?
16:22Yeah.
16:23Let's spread out.
16:30I'll be right back, Nils.
16:32Girl, I ought to be ready by the time you get back, Lucas.
16:35I'll be right back.
16:53Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am.
17:00Mr. McCain, you are getting to be a bad habit.
17:03I guess I wasn't watching where I was going.
17:06Are you certain you didn't know where you were going?
17:09Oh, ma'am, I guess I didn't.
17:10Well, I'll be dogged if he ain't at it again.
17:13I thought you said you weren't interested in our sister.
17:17Now, look, I know things...
17:18You know, mister, I'm beginning to believe you are just downright dishonest.
17:23Believe me, today just isn't my day.
17:25Right now, all I'd like to do is ride on back home.
17:29You trying to snub us, Josh?
17:30No, I'm...
17:30Maybe it ain't a wedding you were interested in.
17:33Maybe you've been lollygagging around Becky for some other reason.
17:37We sure wouldn't like that.
17:39Ma'am, I apologize to have your name spoke that way.
17:42Then maybe you'd like to do something about it.
17:44Step around back, maybe.
17:46All right.
17:46I'm sick enough of you boys to count it a pleasure.
17:48You wait for buggy, Becky.
18:01Hey, he's calling you, boy.
18:02He can't hit as hard nor move as fast.
18:04So get him hard and fast.
18:06Hard and fast.
18:07Yeah, yeah.
18:11Come on, Joe.
18:13Closer, boy.
18:14Closer.
18:14Hit him closer.
18:16Come on, Joe.
18:18Come on.
18:22Come on, you ain't hurt, boy.
18:24He just barely dipped you.
18:25Now go get him.
18:26Yeah.
18:26Come on, Joe.
18:27He just dipped you.
18:28Now go get him.
18:29Come on, now.
18:31Get him.
18:33Get him, boy.
18:35Come on, Joe.
18:35Get him.
18:39Oh, boy.
18:40Come on, Joe.
18:41Get him.
18:44Now you got him, boy.
18:45He hears the canaries.
18:48Oh.
18:50Get up.
18:50Come on.
18:52Come on, Joe.
18:53Come on.
18:54Come on, Pete.
18:57Let me give you a hand, friend.
18:58Come on up and at him, boy.
19:09We sure got to watch him, Josh.
19:10He is sneaky.
19:17You hurt my brother.
19:26You hurt my brother.
19:28You hurt me, boy.
19:30Come on.
19:32Come on, man.
19:33Come on, man.
19:35Come on.
19:37Come on, man.
19:38Better make this big one out there.
19:58Come on.
20:28Come on.
20:35Over here, Pa.
20:43I picked you home.
20:45You sure did.
20:46What took you so long?
20:48Well, his right room was loose, too.
20:50Listen, you want to settle where he's all right?
20:52We're going to make supper, huh?
20:53Yes, Pa.
20:58Mark.
21:02Yes, Pa?
21:05Put that light out and get down.
21:11Well, well.
21:13Lucas McCain.
21:14Good citizen.
21:16I told you if your testimony sent me to the pen, I'd be back to get you.
21:20Well, here we are.
21:21And we're here to kill you.
21:23Come on, boys.
21:24Take...
21:24Get down, Mark.
21:53Roy?
22:17Roy?
22:17Roy?
22:20Roy?
22:22Roy?
22:23Roy?
22:23Roy?
22:24Roy?
22:24Roy?
22:25Roy?
22:25Come on.
22:55Come on.
23:25Come on.
23:55Thank you very much.
23:56We're all right, Becky.
23:58Oh, I reckon we ask her what we got.
24:01A man can be wrong sometimes.
24:03It was her who saved your life.
24:04She heard that fellow over there bragging that as soon as they met a couple of men, they was going to kill somebody.
24:09So when she saw the three of them ride out after you, she told us, and we figured we'd better have a look-see.
24:15Well, I'm mighty obliged to all three of you.
24:17And do you want to hear something else funny?
24:18What's that?
24:19Becky's been engaged ever since she got back home.
24:22She has, huh?
24:23To a boy back in Kansas.
24:25She aimed to keep it a secret spell, but we spotted that ring tied around her neck and she had to tell us.
24:31Looks like you missed out.
24:33It sure does.
24:34Josh?
24:35Yeah?
24:36Don't forget to tell me about Rhoda.
24:38Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
24:43Who's Rhoda?
24:44Oh, you're gonna like Rhoda.
24:46That's Becky's older sister.
24:48Mayor, she looks like she's never seen.
24:54You can eat a snack like that.
24:56You're gonna like her.
25:00Oh, you're ha'
25:00What is she's over?
25:03What is she doing?
25:04I don't want her to tell you, Viele.
25:10I'm ready.
25:11I'm ready.
25:20Oh, you're、 I didn't care.
25:21Oh, I, you're, you're the only one.
