The Rifleman-S2 E25 The Deserter

Duration 25m

A wounded young man appears at the McCain ranch. Lucas starts to give him temporary medical aid, but is interrupted when a patrol of Army Cavalry arrives and announces that the boy is a deserter and proceeds to take him into custody. The next day in town, Lucas and the Marshal meet the boy's commanding officer, a bitter, harsh disciplinarian, who is determined to have the boy executed for desertion. Lucas' intervention helps to save the boy's life, and brings the Army's attention to the officer's disciplinary harshness.
