"Dutchman's Gold" is based on a song by Walter Brennan. Beau, his partner Charlotte and a "prospector" known as the Dutchman search for gold at Superstition Mountain. The gold has a curse on it. Beau and Charlotte are co-owners of the Bluebell Saloon. Each wants the other to buy their share. Enter the Dutchman! For an old man, he handles himself very well. He shows his gold and buys drinks for the house. When Beau wins half the nuggets playing poker, the Dutchman warns him not to touch them with his bare hands because of the curse. The bandit Padilla steals the nuggets, and Beau, Charlotte and the Dutchman head for the mine. Padilla follows. The Dutchman is killed by Apaches, and the bandit dies from drinking poison water.

Going Dutch with gold fever
bkoganbing4 December 2018
This Maverick episode finds Beau Maverick becoming partners with Mala Powers
in a saloon after he wins it in a poker game. It doesn't look like much of a paying
proposition until Jacques Aubuchon only known as the Dutchman comes in and
starts paying for everything with gold nuggets and loses a lot of them to Roger
Moore in a poker game.
Aubuchon is the fabed Dutchman of the Lost Dutchman gold mine near Superstition Mountain and deep in Apache territory. He never has filed a claim on it figuring that those Apaches will discourage most who'd like to jump his claim. But Aubuchon is forced to take Moore and Powers as partners
When they go looking for the mine there's more than Apaches to worry about. We also find why the mine has stayed lost to this day.
Or at least a Maverick's version of the tale.
