The Rifleman season 1 episode 13, titled "Young Englishman," showcases the arrival of a British aristocrat named Charles Armitage. He visits North Fork and stays at the hotel where he meets Lucas and Mark. Charles seems to be interested in learning about the American West and its culture but his arrogant behavior towards the locals rubs them the wrong way.

Meanwhile, a group of bandits led by Sam Morley is causing chaos in North Fork. They have been robbing stores and killing innocent people. Even the town's sheriff is not able to handle them. When Charles hears about this, he offers to help the town by using his knowledge about the British army.

Lucas is skeptical about Charles' intentions but decides to give him a chance. He and Mark take Charles to see the sheriff but their plan backfires when Morley's men attack them. Lucas and Charles manage to fend them off but one of the bandits recognizes Charles as their ex-commanding officer.

Since then, he has been traveling the world to find a new purpose in life. He came to America to learn about its people and culture as he admires the country's democracy and freedom.

Lucas sympathizes with Charles and decides to help him clear his name. They come up with a plan to capture Morley and his men and prove Charles' innocence. The plan succeeds and Charles is exonerated. He decides to stay in North Fork for a while longer to learn more about the American West and befriend its people.

The episode ends with Charles bidding farewell to Lucas and Mark, promising to return to North Fork someday. Lucas and Mark are sad to see him go but glad that they were able to help him find a new purpose in life. They ride off into the sunset, ready for their next adventure.

Overall, "Young Englishman" is a heartwarming and action-packed episode that focuses on the importance of friendship, forgiveness, and redemption.
