The Rifleman: Dead Cold Cash (1960)
Season 3, Episode 9
8/10
Very Different from Regular TV Westerns
3 June 2008
The regular TV westerns usually revolve around the same formulas, good guy meets girl, outlaw comes to town, does something bad, possibly hurts/kidnaps girl, good guy kills/captures outlaw, and girl and good guy fall in love. Not so with this exciting episode of "The Rifleman". On her deathbed, Sarah Caruthers claims that Lucas McCain will die within 7 days of herself. When her will is read, the town of Northfork finds out that each person will get a share of old Mrs. Caruthers' money. But there is a catch! Lucas McCain, our hero, must die within 7 days. No one in Northfork would hurt the McCains, but doubts soon arise. Great episode, the 2nd featuring the lovely Joan Taylor as Miss Milly Scott.
