One thing that the Mavericks were guilty of is that they occasionally let the male
member get them in trouble. More damsels in distress like Joanna Barnes in this
episode led a Maverick astray than anything else. Sometimes a sense of gallantry
is misplaced.
Such like Barnes who gave James Garner the come on where John Russell in prison stripes exchanges that for Maverick gambling attire. James Garner is quite
the sight going around town in those stripes.
There's $120,000.00 in stolen loot at stake and also in the running is knife throwing Richard Reeves and farmer John Qualen who's farm it's buried on,
but he doesn't know where. Can't believe he couldn't find it either.
Best in the episode is brassy Claire Carlton who is saloonkeeper and acting
deputy sheriff. She takes Garner in custody and for once Maverick's gift of
gab fails him.
Watch this one for Carlton, wouldn't want to mess with this lady.
