Johnny Ringo 1959 - 1960
Johnny Ringo is an American Western television series starring
Don Durant that aired on CBS from October 1, 1959, until
June 30, 1960. It is loosely based on the life of the notorious
gunfighter and outlaw Johnny Ringo, also known as John Peters Ringo
or John B. Ringgold, who tangled with Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday,
and Buckskin Franklin Leslie.
This fictional account has Ringo putting aside his gun fighting ways to
become the 27-year-old sheriff of fictitious Velardi in the Arizona
Territory. Ringo has two deputies: William Charles, Jr., or Cully, played
by Mark Goddard and Case Thomas, portrayed by Terence De Marney,
who is also a storekeeper and formerly the town drunk. Case is killed in
a robbery in the episode "Border Town", which aired on March 17, 1960.
Case's daughter, Laura Thomas, played by Karen Sharpe, is Ringo's
girlfriend in the series. Michael Hinn appeared in nine episodes as George Haig.
