Lucas is having a bad day
kfo949414 December 2014
At the beginning of this entertaining episode, Mark asks Lucas if he is ever going to get married again. Lucas kind of laughs it off and says something like maybe someday but only if she can ride a horse and cook.

The next day Lucas and Mark ride into town and Mark sees a young woman, Rebecca Snipes, getting off the stage. In no time, Mark drags his Pa over to where Rebecca is waiting and introduces them in hopes of them getting married. It is an awkward moment for all involved, except for Mark.

Later Rebecca's brothers come to pick her up and notice that Lucas has been talking to their sister. They size up Lucas to make sure that he is good enough to marry their sister. The problem is that Lucas is not interested in their young sister. But the boys think he is telling them a lie.

Not only does Lucas have to deal with that problem, three rides are in town to take care of Lucas for some testimony that was given. It appears that Lucas was in court and testified against a man named Roy Thursday and now he is there for revenge. Lucas has the two brothers and also the three men all out against him.

This was actually a very well performed and humorous show. Sherry Jackson, that played Rebecca, was beautiful on the screen as she played the sister of two bigger than life brothers. And even Chuck Connors gave a rather funny performance as it seemed that all his intentions were being taken wrong. Another wonderful episode that was entertaining from beginning to end.

Just a comment: what an actress!

Unless i'm mistaken - stranger things have happened - so i did the math & Rebecca Snipe aka Sherry Rhodes irl was only SIXTEEN years old at the time of this episode! Googled her bc she looked so familiar. I read that she was a popular child actress but i probably recall her from her work from the'70's & on. Anyway, can't get over how poised & mature she was in this episode! Maybe i DID do the math wrong ...
