Just watched this episode - The Rifleman: Season 1, Episode 13 The Angry Gun (23 Dec. 1958) - on MeTV. Vic Morrow (Sgt. Chip Saunders from Combat) was in it!! Oh, baby:-0 He played bad guy Johnny Cotton. In the end, Lucas McCain shoots and kills him after Johnny stole his money he had gotten from selling his herd. He also stole Lucas' (gasp!) Rifle!! Morrow was great as the bad guy; even playing a stalking type game with Lucas. The end was very touching as his son, Mark, ran to his pa when Lucas came down the road on one of the bandit's horses.
Not only a great episode because of the storyline, but Vic played his part extremely well as a badass who also had a wicked laugh.
Also noteworthy: the way Lucas was quick to think and it was ingenious the way he rigged the pistol, which he had to make do, as Cotton still had his rifle.
