The Rifleman season 3 episode 2, titled "Woman From Hog Ridge," follows Lucas McCain, a widowed rancher and sharpshooter in the town of North Fork, as he encounters a headstrong woman named Miss Milly Scott. Miss Milly arrives in North Fork from Hog Ridge and immediately sets out to start a business as a dressmaker, but her colorful and bold personality rubs some of the townsfolk the wrong way. Despite facing criticism and resistance from both men and women in town, Miss Milly refuses to back down and stands her ground.

As the episode unfolds, Lucas finds himself caught in the middle of the tension, trying to help Miss Milly navigate the obstacles she faces while also keeping the peace in North Fork.
