00:12Starring Chuck Connors
00:44Are you all right?
01:00What's your business, mister?
01:03Well, no need for that gun.
01:05I'm Lucas McCain. This is my son, Mark.
01:08We're your neighbors.
01:10We just stopped by on our way to town to say hello.
01:17All right. You've said hello.
01:19Now clear out.
01:21Please go.
01:29And stay away from my wife.
01:39To drive the neighbors away with a gun?
01:44How can we live here after that, Jake?
01:59Big man, that McCain.
02:01Like Andy Travis.
02:04No, not like Andy Travis.
02:07Like you were once, Jake.
02:09A man I could look up to, respect, a strong man.
02:20Jake, this is the third time we've moved in a year.
02:22It's already starting.
02:24I didn't ask him here, and I don't want him around.
02:28The horse reared and threw me because you beat her.
02:31He was helping me to my feet.
02:34You don't believe that?
02:36No, not when you have to flirt with every man you meet.
02:38If I just talk to a man, you say I'm flirting.
02:41I can't live this way, Jake.
02:49I'm shut away from people and shut away from you.
02:57I sure can't get over that Mr. Owens.
03:00We were just paying a neighborly call, was all.
03:02Well, he's a strange man, son, I agree.
03:05I want a few words with Micah.
03:06Maybe you better pick up the mail and I'll meet you at the barbershop.
03:10Barbershop?
03:11It was just a month ago, Pa.
03:18Well, maybe you can wait another week.
03:20I'll meet you back here.
03:30I thought you were on a diet.
03:32Well, a diet doesn't mean I have to starve myself to death.
03:35Why not do it the easy way?
03:37Just stop eating.
03:38You'll lose that 10 pounds in no time.
03:40Stop eating?
03:42What'll I do for energy to get my work done?
03:45What work?
03:47The heaviest thing you've picked up in 20 years is a cell key.
03:52You know, that's the trouble with this job.
03:54People think that all it is is wearing a star and shaking enough hands to get elected again.
04:00By the way, did you meet your new neighbors yet?
04:04Yeah, I met them.
04:06I just saw them for a minute when they arrived.
04:08They were busy moving in.
04:10You like Jake and his wife.
04:11They're nice people, Lucas.
04:20How well do you know Jake Owens?
04:23Oh, about as well as I know you.
04:25Of course, until he moved here, I haven't seen him in maybe four or five years.
04:29He was wearing a badge then in Rebels Falls, Missouri, but he'd already made a reputation for himself.
04:34Owens wore a badge?
04:36That's right.
04:37Gave it up to become a cattle rancher.
04:39I'm glad they moved here.
04:44What's the matter, Lucas?
04:46You said you met Jake.
04:47What do you think of him?
04:49Now, maybe he's changed a little, Micah, since you knew him.
05:04How old will you be?
05:05About half an hour.
05:07Half hour to pick out a hat?
05:08Well, I have a few other things to get.
05:11All here?
05:14I'll be back.
05:18Travis, there's our boy coming to town.
05:25Hanging right for the saloon.
05:28Still likes his liquor, I see.
05:43You see, I blame Jake for building a fence around that filly.
05:47She's pretty tempting.
05:49If you like arrogant women.
05:52Turned you down, huh?
05:56Well, Jake Owens doesn't think so.
05:58I saw to that, and it's torturing him.
06:02He even gave up his badge to get her out of town.
06:07Look at that lady, he put a bullet in, I'd say he's eating with you.
06:10Hey, is that supposed to be a sample of your wit?
06:14Put it away, Simms.
06:15I've told you a dozen times it won't be done in a handgun fight.
06:19It'd be the easiest way.
06:21With Jake Owens' temper, I'd throw a couple of words at him in the slew.
06:24He draws.
06:26He dies.
06:28Maybe he dies.
06:30No, that would be too easy for him.
06:33Besides, he was no slouch with a gun as a marshal.
06:38Don't scare me, it's the way I like it.
06:40Gun against gun.
06:42Simms, I'm satisfying your pocketbook, not your sense of enjoyment.
06:46We'll dispose of Owens my way.
06:50Foot in the bill.
07:07I'm sorry, I usually look where I'm going, Mrs. Owens.
07:11That's all right, Mr. McCain.
07:14That's very pretty.
07:16What is it, ma'am?
07:17It's a hat.
07:19Oh, a hat.
07:23This is one of woman's small pleasures and one I haven't indulged in for a long time.
07:31You know, North Fork is a surprise to me.
07:33It's so much bigger than I expected.
07:35It's a growing town.
07:37You're a surprise too, Mrs. Owens.
07:39Oh, in what way?
07:41Well, you don't fit the pattern living on a ranch.
07:43It's like finding a thoroughbred pulling a plow.
07:46Well, thank you for the compliment.
07:49I was born and raised in the East and life there is a little different for a woman.
07:58It's not easy running a small ranch.
08:01Woman's work is never done.
08:03I'm mad.
08:03I've told you to keep away from my wife.
08:05Jake, you have no right to preserve.
08:06Shut up.
08:08This is your second warning, McCain.
08:10You're not going to get a third.
08:11You're making a scene.
08:12Would you take me home?
08:17You call yourself a husband?
08:20She's my wife, McCain.
08:22And the next time I have to tell you that, it'll be with a gun in my hand.
08:25Jake!
08:27Jake!
08:28What's the matter with you?
08:29What's the trouble?
08:30Ask him.
08:30He's an old friend of yours.
08:34Micah, how well do you know, McCain?
08:35As good a friend as I have in the world and a man you can trust.
08:38I don't trust any man where my wife is concerned.
08:41Keep him away from me, Micah.
08:46What's wrong with you, Jake?
08:47What's happened between you and Fay?
08:51Nothing that concerns you.
08:58Jake, look at me.
09:00Jake!
09:03I always knew you were jealous of Fay, but I never thought I'd live to see the day you treat
09:07her like you just did.
09:08I don't want any trouble with you over McCain.
09:12Any trouble will be of your own making.
09:14And hers the minute my back is turned.
09:18McCain's a friend of yours.
09:19Keep him away from me.
09:20And a long way from my wife.
09:29Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with an assist from me.
09:36What's that mean?
09:38I've made Jake Owens think he merited an incurable flirt.
09:41And is driving him berserk.
09:43And making both their lives miserable.
09:47I thought she just wanted him dead.
09:49Oh, I do in time.
09:51And if he keeps antagonizing that sod buster they call the rifleman, he won't be long for this world.
09:56What do you mean I made a trip for nothing?
09:59Sims, if Owens dies, it doesn't make any difference who the executioner is.
10:04You are, McCain.
10:17You better hurry, son, before Miss Pritchett puts you to chopping kindling wood for being late.
10:21Yeah, she doesn't miss a chance of getting somebody on that wood pile.
10:24Well, I'd say that's a practical way of setting aside winter firewood.
10:28Well, you wouldn't think it was so practical if you were the one shopping more than half the pile.
10:32I guess that would slam my outlook on it.
10:39Mark, ever since you got up this morning, you seem to have something on your mind.
10:43Well, I was thinking, Pa.
10:46Today we're studying about English kings.
10:49And, well, I was just figuring it was more important for me to help you finish fixing those fence posts
10:55on the north line.
10:56You're worrying about that north line being too close to the Owens ranch, aren't you?
11:01Sort of.
11:03Well, no sense me telling you not to worry about it.
11:07Worries don't shed too easy.
11:08That's certainly the truth.
11:10He sure is an unreasonable man.
11:12That's the truth, too.
11:15There's an old saying, Mark.
11:17The things we worry about most never come to pass.
11:19So, with that in mind, why don't you start riding and try and beat that school belt?
11:23You mean if I keep on worrying about being late, then it won't come to pass and I'll be early?
11:29You can try it.
11:30You can also try hustling just to play a doubly safe.
11:33Now get going.
11:43Now get going.
11:59Now get going.
12:02Now get going.
12:05Mrs. Owens.
12:08I'm sorry I disturbed you.
12:10You didn't.
12:11This is my north line.
12:13No, no, no, no.
12:46Actually, I have another reason for being here.
12:49I saw you repairing fences yesterday, and I wanted to apologize for the embarrassing scene in town.
12:56It's just a man doing some early day drinking.
13:00You're very kind.
13:05You're a widower, Mr. McCain.
13:07You know what loneliness is.
13:10My wife died a long time ago.
13:13Did you ever doubt her?
13:16Were you jealous?
13:18I loved her.
13:21And you believed her when she told you she loved you?
13:26Lucky man.
13:28Thank you.
13:45I thought for a minute one's had something them two meepin' out here like this.
13:49Oh, it's all quite innocent.
13:51But rugs have been woven on a fewer threads.
13:54Putting it in other ways, Sims, I think we've got enough here to start a snowball ruling.
13:58And this would be the perfect spot to end it.
14:01Come on.
14:13Oh, I've been thinking.
14:15Well, I guess that's a good sign your schooling's paying off.
14:18No, I've been thinking about a way dishes could wash themselves.
14:22Suppose you had a box.
14:23I mean a box that didn't leak water.
14:25And you put the dirty dishes in it.
14:28Well, I guess that could be arranged.
14:30Well, the rest would be simple.
14:31You'd just tie the soapy water box on the back of a horse and jog them around the house a
14:35few times.
14:38Oh.
14:39No, I guess it wouldn't be too practical.
14:42No, I don't think so, son.
14:43I've got to get these wire cutters sharpened and then get out to the north line and replace some fence
14:48posts.
14:49I'll have my chores done by the time I get back.
15:03Hello, Micah.
15:04Lucas, Mark.
15:05Could I have a word with you alone, Lucas?
15:08Sure, son.
15:10Oh, I'll get the wagon hitched up for you, Paul.
15:16What's up, Micah?
15:18What's going on between you and Fay Owens?
15:23What are you talking about?
15:25Is it true that you two had a meeting at your north fence this morning?
15:28Well, what do you want to hear?
15:30That I've been seeing Jake's wife?
15:31Well, have you?
15:32Not the way you mean.
15:33Is there another way?
15:34You know there is.
15:36Fay Owens is an unhappy woman.
15:37No man has a right to treat her the way Jake does.
15:39I agree.
15:40But after all, they are man and wife.
15:41And what's between them should be settled between them.
15:44Who told you about our meeting this morning?
15:47Nobody.
15:48Near as I can figure, the talk started in the saloon and spread a lot of time.
15:51Well, talk is the one thing I never listened to.
15:52I wouldn't do anything to add to it, Lucas.
15:59I'm sorry for her, Micah, that's all.
16:01Being married to a man who doesn't trust her.
16:05I don't know what's happened to Jake.
16:07He always did have a quick temper, but this jealousy of his, I...
16:12I stay away from him, Lucas.
16:14And from Fay, too.
16:15I'm sorry for his.
16:21¡Gracias!
17:14¡Gracias!
17:18¿Aren't you drinking a lot lately?
17:21Maybe I've got good reason to get drunk today.
17:25What do you mean?
17:31I heard about you and McCain.
17:34You heard what?
17:36There's nothing to hear.
17:38You deny meeting him at the North Line?
17:41No, I don't deny it.
17:42I went there to apologize to him for your behavior.
17:47Oh, I heard a different story in town.
17:50I don't care what you heard.
17:52How about today?
17:54Feel he needs another apology today?
17:57The betting in town is McCain will be fixing fence again today with you right there helping him.
18:02Jake, this is ridiculous.
18:03Maybe I'm upsetting that by cutting short my business in town.
18:06Will you not start with this unreasonable jealousy again?
18:09Unreasonable?
18:12What about Andy Travis?
18:14And all those times I saw him riding away from our house.
18:18I will tell you again, there was nothing between us.
18:21He was never in my house.
18:23I never saw him anywhere near the house.
18:24No, I heard a different kind of talk.
18:26Talk, that's all it was.
18:29For the hundredth time, Travis was a braggart.
18:33A loathsome creature who bragged about all women who rejected him.
18:37You shot him for his bragging.
18:39Nothing else.
18:43Jake, your jealousy is destroying us.
18:47It's already robbed you of the most important thing in your life.
18:50Your job is a lawman.
18:52The most important thing in my life is you.
18:55And I intend to fight for you.
19:00You don't have to fight for me.
19:04I'm your wife.
19:05I love you.
19:11Mr. McCain is expecting a visitor at the North Lot.
19:15We don't want to disappoint him.
19:40Come on, Patience.
19:42Owens ought to be along pretty soon, huh?
19:44I say we should cut down on Owens a minute he shows and head out.
19:47Nobody would know the difference.
19:49I'd know the difference.
19:52No, we'll let McCain take care of the job.
19:55And if Owens comes out of it alive, we'll take care of him then.
19:59What about McCain being a witness?
20:02It hardly seems sensible to leave such a loose end dangling, does it?
20:11Ah!
20:12Ah!
20:23I warned you, McCain.
20:26The third time I talked to you would be with a gun.
20:28If you came out here because of that talk in town,
20:33you're making a mistake.
20:34No mistake.
20:34No mistake.
20:36That kind of talk don't start by itself.
20:40You got your gun.
20:43Use it.
20:44You're making a mistake, Owens.
20:45I got a belly full of lies, McCain.
20:48Use it!
20:53Well, I'll take McCain.
20:55How am I going to convince you?
20:57No, no, no, no.
21:27It's all right. Who was it down there?
21:30Andy, Travis was one of them.
21:33Travis!
21:36And you saying it was just talk.
21:39He even followed you here.
21:41Jake, he must have started the rumors here in North Fork just as he...
21:48Oh, Jake, no.
21:51Wanted me out of the way, then you'd go to him.
22:03You're a fool, Owens.
22:08This fella, Travis, you think he just wanted you dead?
22:10That could have been easily arranged. Ambush, no witnesses.
22:15Are you so blind you can't see that he just wanted your jealousy...
22:19your sickness to cause your death?
22:25You are a fool.
22:35Fool.
22:59This one isn't too clean, Paul.
23:00Oh, well, I guess the best dishwasher is still a woman, huh?
23:05I guess so.
23:07Ma was as pretty as Mrs. Owens, wasn't she?
23:09Yes, she was.
23:11Were you ever jealous over Ma like Mr. Owens was?
23:15Oh, maybe a little while we were courting.
23:17I mean, but not after we were married.
23:22You know, son, being jealous means a man doesn't really trust himself.
23:29And he doesn't trust his wife to know her own mind when she says she loves him.
23:33You know, Ma always knew her own mind.
23:37Yeah.
23:40Say, Pa, about that dish washing box idea.
23:43I've been thinking about it some more and suppose we had a little windmill.
23:47Windmill?
23:48Well, sure, we could attach the windmill shaft to sort of a rocking chair.
23:53And every time the windmill turned,
23:56the rocker would go back and forth and rock all the dishes clean.
23:59That's a good idea.
24:01But how about the days the wind doesn't blow?
24:07Oh, I never thought about that.
24:12Hey, Pa, Tommy Hamilton once let his dog lick his plate clean
24:17and his Ma never knew the difference.
24:19So what if we had one of those old farm dogs
24:22with one of those big old lapping tongues
24:24who was always hungry?
24:26Why, he...
24:32I guess that would sort of be an unsanitary dishwasher.
24:35Yeah.
24:36¡No!
25:08¡No!
