00:06The Rifleman
00:14Starring Chuck Connors
00:36What's that fool doing?
00:43Come on, Mark.
00:55Are you one of your minds spooking my horse
00:57and spoiling the first drink of cool water I've seen in miles?
01:00I'm sorry about your horse, mister,
01:01but you can thank me for spoiling your drink.
01:03That water's poison.
01:15If this water is poison,
01:17why isn't there a sign saying so?
01:20Well, being this is my property
01:21and nobody's supposed to be on it but my cattle who can't read,
01:24I covered it with those planks you took away.
01:29Well, what am I going to do about my horse?
01:32Mark, go get this man's horse.
01:34Better not do that again, mister.
01:36Next time there might not be anybody around.
01:42Look there.
01:43Your gunshot scared me so I tore my trousers.
01:47I saved your life.
01:48If an apology's in order, you've got it.
01:53Well, all right.
01:56You live around here?
01:58Over the hill.
01:59Friend, I could use the lend of a needle and thread on a hot meal.
02:03All to be paid for, of course.
02:05Well, I'm not running a general store,
02:06but I guess I can manage a needle and thread.
02:09You are a diamond of the first water.
02:11I'm Speed Sullivan, friend of the ill, infirmed, and endangered.
02:15And what category am I in?
02:17The third.
02:18In danger?
02:19Mortal danger.
02:20When the huge mallet of Thor strikes the mighty heavenly anvil,
02:23your life may well be forfeit.
02:25What are you talking about?
02:27All in good time, friend.
02:29All in good time.
02:30You evidently have more time than I do.
02:33Here comes my son with your horse.
02:34We'd better get going.
02:35We have to wait a bit.
02:36What for?
02:37My son.
02:38He's coming up with the wagon.
02:39He's coming up with the wagon.
02:45Whoa!
02:48Did you find any water, Dad?
02:49It ain't fit to drink, son.
02:50All right, let's go.
03:05Boy, in our profession, you've got to keep one eye on the horizon.
03:08And once in a while, it's a good idea to look behind.
03:10See anything?
03:12No.
03:12And I've been watching.
03:13Good.
03:14I'd hate to have that old man die on us.
03:16First, on general principles.
03:17And second, I understand he's got a couple of pretty mean sons.
03:28Dempsey's track's all right.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Once passed by here less than two hours ago.
03:35Yeah.
03:36We're close.
03:38That busted twigs still oozing sap.
03:40That wagon along, he leaves the trail like a garter snake at a sowing bee.
03:46Come on, I want to see him a stretching rope before sundown.
03:49After what he'd done to our old daddy,
03:51hanging is a shade and a half too good for him.
04:02I'll have this set up in just a minute.
04:09I'll have this set up.
04:12Let's see.
04:33This one ain't clean.
04:33Com kicks short en 6 meses.
04:36Someday you'll make someone a fine wife.
04:42Listen, I'm trying to be friendly with you,
04:44but you just won't let me.
04:46Now, if my pa hadn't invited you here,
04:48why, I'd just punch you right in the nose.
04:51Suit yourself, boy!
04:54I've got some things to get out of the wagon.
04:57If you wanna tango, come on down to the barn
04:59when you're through.
05:00I'll be there.
05:06I bet you've never seen a demonstration like this before.
05:08No, I haven't.
05:11Now, we turn this wheel,
05:13and the spark will jump from the end of this rod.
05:18You see that?
05:20Now, this is your house.
05:23The wheel is a storm cloud,
05:25and this is a lightning rod.
05:28And once again, we turn the wheel,
05:30and the storm is slowly approaching the house.
05:33It's approaching, and the lightning strikes the house,
05:37and it strikes it again,
05:39but it is harmlessly carried away.
05:42But watch this.
05:47We now have a house with no lightning rod,
05:50and just to expedite the demonstration,
05:53we will place a little kerosene down here,
05:56and there's a touch of the dramatic.
06:00There we are.
06:02And we have our storm approaching again.
06:04It is approaching and approaching,
06:06and lightning strikes the house,
06:09and look at that flame, sir.
06:10Did you see that?
06:14You now have your home consigned to the flames.
06:19Sir, only a month ago,
06:20I saw a home that had been struck by lightning.
06:23It was one casualty, a lad.
06:25He was about the same age as your boy.
06:28I'd only been there a week earlier, even a day.
06:31You cannot afford to deny your son this protection.
06:34Well, I don't often douse my house with kerosene
06:36during a lightning storm.
06:37That was merely a demonstration device.
06:39Why did that little house burn?
06:41That was merely a demonstration device.
06:42The little house is made out of asbestos.
06:44It was the kerosene that burned.
06:46It seems to me I'd be better off putting asbestos on
06:49than your lightning rod.
06:50Sir, your levity pains me.
06:53The pair of dishes finished, son?
06:55Yep.
06:57Where are you off to?
06:58Well, I've got to finish a job in the barn.
07:06Splendid lad.
07:10Only $35 can protect the life of that fine young lad.
07:25Well, let's go.
07:26Welcome, friend.
07:26Welcome.
07:27We're open for trade.
07:28Any or all.
07:28Let's deal.
07:29I came down here to whip you.
07:31What for?
07:32You take back what you said.
07:34If I said anything to get you mad, consider it taken back.
07:37Let's step over here.
07:38See anything you like?
07:40A genuine Swedish steel hunting knife.
07:42Handle of imported ivory.
07:46Well, as long as you've apologized, let me take a look.
07:50Well, now, let's see what you got to trade, boy.
07:53Don't handle the merchandise, son.
07:54Let's see what you got to trade.
07:58Well, it's all in there.
08:02Well, these are nothing but a...
08:08Oh, say, you know, those look like real genuine Indian arrowheads.
08:11Where'd you find this stuff?
08:12Oh, up the canyon a ways.
08:14Do you remember exactly where?
08:17Sure.
08:17Why?
08:18Oh, the arrowheads caught my fancy.
08:21That's all.
08:21I'll tell you what.
08:22If you give me all this junk, I'll give you, boy,
08:24a real genuine Gila monster.
08:27Oh, that's nothing but a rusty old lizard.
08:30Well, you lied to me, didn't you, you little rascal?
08:33But, uh, how about this vest, the knife, and the belt?
08:37Are you loco?
08:38I didn't want to trade anyhow.
08:40Wait a minute, son.
08:41And if we trade, will you tell me where you found this stuff?
08:45Well, uh...
08:47If you, uh, promise to do all my chores and clean it up
08:50while you're staying around here.
08:55I think we understand each other well enough to keep on talking.
09:00All right. Let's see.
09:05Now, you just give me $35,
09:07and our man will be around in two weeks for the installation.
09:09I'll give you $2 now, and the rest on installation.
09:14$2?
09:15Why, I'd be cut to the quick if I thought you didn't trust me.
09:18No, it's not a matter of trust. It's a way of doing business.
09:21But I've never sold one of these without at least a $10 deposit.
09:24I...
09:25$2 it is.
09:26Now, about yourself personally, Luke, do you ever have a ringing sensation in the ears?
09:31Uh, heady feeling, aches and pains when the clouds hang black over the hills?
09:35Well, I usually feel pretty good.
09:37Unless, of course, I'm thrown from a horse or a shot or a snake bit.
09:40Mm-hmm. That's the first symptom, a false sense of well-being.
09:43Now, a bit of Sullivan's universal panacea...
09:45I'd hate to upset my false sense of well-being.
09:48An ounce of prevention, only $18 a case. It's got an alcoholic content.
09:51Whiskey sells for $12 a case.
09:53This is not a stimulant, sir. This is a preventative.
09:56I have numerous letters of acclaim that can be shown upon request.
09:59Oh, well, I'd like to see those letters.
10:01You would? You would?
10:04Oh, here come the boys.
10:07What is he doing wearing all your gear?
10:10We've been trading.
10:12Murak, did you sell up the hog shed?
10:14Oh, not yet, Pa. Coming, Swifty?
10:18Oh, yeah, yeah. Can I do it?
10:19But, uh, I always wanted to learn how to slop hogs.
10:23Well, come on, and I'll tell you how.
10:26I've never seen a boy so eager to learn about everything.
10:31Say, uh, say, Luke.
10:34When I was in the bedroom there washing my face,
10:36I noticed those beds. Real hair mattresses.
10:39You know how long it's been since I hid a bed like that?
10:41Six weeks.
10:43That long?
10:43Mm-hmm.
10:45Yeah, I guess it's for the best, though.
10:46You shouldn't get used to it.
10:47Not even for one night.
10:48Now, Swifty and I, we're used to the wagon.
10:51It's hard, but it makes you hard.
10:59Tell you what, Mr. Sullivan,
11:00if you and Swifty would like to have a bed to remember,
11:03why don't you use ours tonight?
11:05Now, I truly feel like a guest.
11:08I have heard of Western hospitality,
11:10but you are an oil painting of it, sir.
11:13But where will you sleep?
11:14Oh, I can set up a couple of army cards right in here.
11:17You are a diamond in the rough, sir.
11:20Well, it's getting late.
11:21I have to take a little evening constitutional before my bedtime.
11:29Well, I see you boys have finished your chores.
11:31Time for us to take our evening constitutional, Swifty.
11:34See you in the morning, Mark.
11:35Good night, Mr. Sullivan.
11:36Swifty.
11:36Good night.
11:39What's the idea of letting that farm kid take all your gear?
11:42Didn't I teach you better than that?
11:44Only one reason.
11:45Swifty, you got something?
11:52Does the kid know he struck gold?
11:53No.
11:54Where did he find it?
11:55Somewhere close by.
11:56He said he'll show me tomorrow.
11:58Man, oh, man.
11:59Man, oh, man.
12:01Oh, your mother would have been proud of you, Swifty.
12:03Does McCain know about this?
12:05No.
12:05And the kid isn't wise either.
12:07He just thinks I want his arrowheads.
12:09Boy, we have struck it rich.
12:10You keep that kid in your hip pocket,
12:11and we've got it made.
12:12I can handle him.
12:14Yeah.
12:14And I can handle a cloud buster like you.
12:16Lucas McCain.
12:19Lucas McCain.
12:21That's the one they call a rifleman.
12:24Guess it must be on his property.
12:26That'd scare you off?
12:28No.
12:29If McCain gets in the way,
12:31we'll have to take care of him, too.
12:47My son and I have been talking it over.
12:49Do you know anything about oil?
12:52I think enough.
12:52It'll keep a wheel from squeaking.
12:54They're doing great things with it in the east.
12:55Making candles, running steam engines with it,
12:57providing lamp oil cheaper than whale.
12:59Well, I guess that's progress, Mr. Sullivan.
13:02I was crossing your holdings,
13:04and I thought there might be a little, not much,
13:06but a little of the stuff down below.
13:09Now, it probably won't come to a thing,
13:10but if you would like to sell me the mineral rights
13:13for a nominal sum, I'd chance it.
13:15How nominal?
13:17I'm not a wealthy man.
13:18Well, neither am I.
13:19But if the mineral rights are worth something to you,
13:21they're worth something to me.
13:22Well, I'd take a chance.
13:25Hundred dollars.
13:26Well, for a hundred dollars, I don't need a partner.
13:29I wouldn't bother you none.
13:30Wouldn't be coming around.
13:30You could still run your cattle just the same as now.
13:33Just what do you get for your hundred dollars?
13:35Ten square feet.
13:37Ten square feet.
13:39I'll have to sleep on it.
13:40Can you give me an answer now?
13:41The answer now is no.
13:42Why don't you sleep on it?
13:46Ah.
13:51Pa, this sure is fun sleeping in these cots.
13:54Only I wouldn't want to do it all the time.
13:57Then you know how much they appreciate the use of our mattresses.
14:00Mark, you got a lot of good stuff from Swifty today.
14:02Where'd you trade him?
14:04Oh, just some arrowheads and some cat gold.
14:08From that gold mine of yours?
14:09Uh-huh.
14:10Oh, so that's it, huh?
14:13What's the matter?
14:16Mark, tomorrow morning, Mr. Speed Sullivan is gonna buy himself some mineral routes and a lesson.
14:27Mark, would you clean up the table, please, son?
14:29Oh, sure.
14:31Oh, meet me.
14:32I do it.
14:33I love to wash dishes.
14:39That is an exceptional boy.
14:41You know, often I've got to ask Mark several times.
14:45Now, Mr. Sullivan, what did you say you expect to get for your hundred dollars?
14:52Uh, it's ten square feet of your property.
14:55Hmm.
14:55Which ten square feet?
14:57Well, I'm not sure yet.
14:58I'd like to take my pick.
15:00Well, now, you might want the part that my house is on or my well.
15:03If you won't say, the price goes up to five hundred dollars.
15:07Five hundred?
15:08Now, that's highway robbery.
15:10I'm sorry.
15:10That's the deal.
15:13Uh, look, suppose I guaranteed not to harm any existing structures.
15:18Would you sell me the mineral rights to your entire holdings
15:20and guarantee me a ten-foot right of entry at the place of my choosing?
15:24Do you have five hundred dollars?
15:25Yeah.
15:26But that's all the money I have in the world.
15:28No, it's up to you, Mr. Sullivan.
15:29Take it or leave it.
15:31I'll take it.
15:36There you are.
15:37Now, I took the liberty of drawing up a contract last night.
15:41You'll just sign right there.
15:43There we are.
15:44You think it's all in order?
15:45Well, we'll have to make two changes.
15:47What's that?
15:48We'll change this one hundred dollars to five hundred and five.
15:51And, uh...
15:51And we'll add the clause down here.
15:54Existing structures remain the same.
15:57I'd like to, uh, ride out over the property and look around,
16:00but you're gonna be busy.
16:02I, uh...
16:03Listen, could, uh, could Mark show me around?
16:06I ask Kim.
16:07He knows every square foot of this range better than I do.
16:09Yeah, uh, is that all right with you, Mark?
16:11Mark?
16:12I know, huh?
16:14Oh, uh, scripty, are you coming along?
16:15Oh, no, no.
16:17I wanna learn how to feed the chickens, collect eggs, milk the cows, and clean the barn.
16:24Your boy has been a wonderful influence on my boy.
16:45Look at that.
16:47There's the medicine man in that kid.
16:49You sure?
16:50Where's the wagon?
16:51I don't know.
16:52There ain't another man to ride the horse like that.
16:54Yeah, George.
16:55Come on.
16:56Come on.
17:02It's the watchers.
17:03Come on, boy.
17:03Let's get out of here.
17:25The poisoners are easier to catch than gunmen.
17:27Gentlemen, we've all been the victims of the tragic, horrible mistake.
17:31Sure have.
17:32Especially you.
17:33Oh, man nearly died from what you sell.
17:36Well, he could have died if he drank too much whiskey.
17:38Or too much well water.
17:40He drank what you sold him.
17:43That the boy that delivered it?
17:44Yeah.
17:45Makes him sort of an accessory, don't it?
17:48This isn't my pa.
17:49Well, I'm Mark McKinnon.
17:50You better let me alone before my pa hears about this.
17:53Shut up, boy.
17:54While he's tying him up over here.
17:56Yeah.
17:56Gentlemen, please.
17:58May I just have a word with you?
18:00Gentlemen, look.
18:01When I heard of the unfortunate illness of your dear old pappy,
18:05I said if that precious liquid can harm the hair on the head of one of the Lord's creatures,
18:10it can't be good.
18:10Pour it out.
18:11Gentlemen, Sullivan's panacea no longer exists.
18:16With that possible exception.
18:19What are you gonna do with this?
18:21Huh?
18:22What size collar do you wear?
18:24That 16.
18:25Well, why?
18:26Cleek, scout around and see if we happen to bring along a size 16 noose.
18:31Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
18:33What's gonna happen to my boy?
18:36I'm not his boy.
18:37And you'd better leave me alone.
18:40He's not my boy.
18:42He didn't have anything to do with it.
18:44What are you gonna do with the boy, Marsh?
18:46I'm gonna drink some of this here panacea and study on it.
18:58It's almost noon.
19:00You can ride to the farthest part of this ranch in an hour.
19:02I wonder if they hit trouble.
19:03Nothing my pop can't handle.
19:05Your father doesn't wear a gun.
19:08My pop's the fastest mouth in the West.
19:10He can talk his way out of anything he gets into.
19:13Can he talk a horse out of stepping into a gopher hole or a rattlesnake out of biting him?
19:17Well, no.
19:19Tell me something, Swifty.
19:20Somebody after the two of you?
19:23Well, you can't make a hit with everybody in the world.
19:25Is it the law?
19:27Maybe they got lost.
19:28Not Mark.
19:29Who's after you and your father?
19:32Probably nobody.
19:32Answer me, boy.
19:34Is it the law?
19:35No.
19:37Maybe it's two men.
19:38I think their name is Watson.
19:41The Watson brothers from Elwood City?
19:43Yeah.
19:44And I was worried about rattlesnakes and gopher holes.
20:06All right, Marsh.
20:17Oh, wait a minute.
20:18Wait a minute.
20:18No, no.
20:19Look, gentlemen.
20:20Uh, um, I've got a gold mine.
20:23I'll tell you what I'll do.
20:24I'll give it to you if you'll let us go, huh?
20:26A gold mine, eh?
20:28Yeah.
20:28It'd be a shame to let the old man get that sick for nothing.
20:31Oh, that'd be a shame, yes.
20:32If you don't let the old man get that sick for nothing.
20:32He does die.
20:34He'd sure be proud to know his boys was took good care of.
20:37He'd love you for it.
20:38Can you prove it about that mine?
20:39Trouser pocket.
20:44Oh, so you bought some mineral rights.
20:46How do we know the right kind of minerals on this land?
20:48Shirt pocket.
20:55It's cat gold.
20:56Come on.
20:58All right, hold it.
21:06All right, cut him loose.
21:08You'd be a fool to jump two men standing this far apart.
21:11You'd never swing that rifle in time to get both of us.
21:13At least one of us get you.
21:14Well, you just take one more step apart and we'll find out.
21:17Get yourself a gun belt.
21:18And a sporting gun.
21:20Now, don't use a gun for sport.
21:22Now, somebody better start moving real slow and cut him loose.
21:25Could you trade that for a real fast move?
21:31You boys should have stayed in the county where your cousin's sheriff.
21:34Now, help him up and get off my property.
21:36If I see you around here again, there'll be nobody left to cart you off.
21:42Move!
21:59You all right, son?
22:00Yep.
22:10You got here just in time.
22:11That was mighty close, Mr. McCain.
22:13Better late than never, Mr. Sullivan.
22:17Why did they throw this nugget away?
22:19It's worth $60 or $70.
22:20Pure gold.
22:21Iron pyrite.
22:23Fool's gold.
22:24It's good for a flint for starting a fire, but that's about all.
22:26Well, my property's full of it.
22:44You know, I've taken a few in my time and I've been taken by a few.
22:47But you two are without peer.
22:49I'll tell you, Speedy, a good salesman is the easiest man in the world to sell something to.
22:54You got all my money now.
22:55I want to wish you all the luck in the world.
22:58What are you going to do?
23:00Oh, I don't know why.
23:02I guess I'll roll across these prairies until I wear down like a tumbleweed.
23:07You know, it took me six years to save that $500.
23:10I was going to use it for my son's education.
23:12Now all I've got to pass along to him is a sales pitch,
23:16a formula for Sullivan's panacea, and a supply of lightning rods that never gets delivered.
23:23Well, bye-bye.
23:24Speed.
23:26I don't really want a partner in my land.
23:28Tell you what.
23:29Would you like to sell me back those mineral rights?
23:33You mean it?
23:34For $250.
23:36Oh, now wait a minute.
23:36I paid you $500 for those.
23:38Those rights are worth at least...
23:39Of course, you don't want them.
23:40You know, you didn't come into this with clean hands.
23:43You were trying to cheat me out of a gold mine.
23:46Well, I guess when you've plucked as many pigeons as I have,
23:50you shouldn't complain when you lose a few feathers yourself, huh?
23:52It's a deal.
23:53All right.
23:55There's your money.
23:56There you are.
23:59Hey, wait a minute. There's more than 200.
24:02There's $498 there.
24:04I didn't want to keep your money.
24:05I just wanted to teach you a lesson.
24:07Where's the other $2?
24:08That $2 is a refund.
24:12I'm canceling out that lightning rod that doesn't get delivered.
24:21Bye-bye.
24:22Goodbye, Speed.
24:38Bye-bye.
24:42Bye.
24:59All right.
24:59Bye.
25:00Bye.
25:02Bye.
25:26¡Gracias!
25:33¡Gracias!
