This is the one with the enigmatic title. Bart is playing poker at the Bella Union and plans to buy half the hotel when a showgirl steals his money and heads to Mexico. Karen is the Norwegian can-can girl, and Bart follows her south of the border. A fiesta marking the death of the traitor Judas is in progress. There are fireworks, and a big statue of Judas is burned. People wear masks, and there is dancing. Bart finds Karen and demands his $20,000. She does not have it. She deposited it in the Wells Fargo Bank before leaving New Mexico. Ladies man Bart uncharacteristally gets rough with Karen. She takes a liking to him. The Mavericks are not businessmen or hard workers, so it is a stretch to believe Bart would buy into a hotel.
