Lee Van Cleef makes this regular show- much better
18 February 2013
Lee Van Cleef plays a role that he is famous for when he plays Johnny Drako a gunslinger that makes his way to North Fork. Johnny Drako comes in town and puts out the word that he is looking for Lucas McCain. Lucas actually knows Johnny from the time they served in the war, Lucas goes to the hotel to see the sinister looking man. But Johnny is aging and is looking for a place to settle down. No other town wants a known gunslinger in their midst so Johnny cannot find a place to finally rest.

Everyone else in town is nervous about having Johnny in town but Lucas opens the door for his old friend to settle down in North Fork area. But before long three young strangers come riding into town. Johnny recognizes them as trouble makers that want to make a name for themselves. Now the town has four problems within its boundaries. It will not be long until North Fork is not the quiet town it use to be.

A typical western where the good guys versus the bad guys. Would have been rather plain but the acting of Chuck Connors and Van Cleef makes this show special. Good Watch
