This is the heartwarming, action packed series about Lucas McCain, a dedicated rancher and concerned parent, trying to raise his son Mark, played by Johnny Crawford. Their adventures are filled with two-fisted action, set against sweeping landscapes that are full of beauty, and filmed in authentic locations.

Lucas McCain can fire a round with his specially modified Winchester in three-tenths of a second. That and his resolve enable him to help the sheriff maintain order, as he raises his son Mark on a ranch near North Fork, New Mexico, in a turbulent, untamed West. The series and its concept is so popular that CBS is currently developing a remake of the Western drama, with CBS TV Studios and Carol Mendelsohn Productions serving as executive producers. This is the original that set off the legendary story and its memorable characters.
