This one puts Bart and Samantha Crawford in the Dakota Territory. They end up on an island besieged by Sioux Indians. Samantha reveals her past. Her parents were killed by Arapahoe when she was 12, and she learned to survive on her own. Now, Bart understands her. There is chemistry between them. Diane Brewster as Samantha is the main female character in Maverick. She oozes with charm, feigns her southern accent. "Fiddle-dee-dee!" She tells one lie after another. She sneaks into Bart's hotel room to rob him, thinking he is a Secret Service agent. He catches up to her on a riverboat, and she jumps overboard. Bart follows her into the water, and they eat buffalo meat. They kiss! Sam shows she can rough it and shoots an Indian. She massages Bart's temples and pretends to fall in love. Brewster was beautiful with her hair down. She died in 1991 at age 60.
