When Bart wins at roulette in Sunrise, Nevada, the casino cannot pay and he accepts an IOU. No comedy here! Gun play! Sexy Marie Windsor spins the wheel and pays losing numbers because her boss Diamond Dan is being blackmailed by Elkins. Marie ultimately kills Elkins, and Dan dies in his son's arms when lured into a trap. Bart claims he does not normally stick his neck out but show up to join the fight. In a story of complicated relationships, Bart romances a lawyer's daughter only to realize she is better off with Dan's son. Bart tears up the IOU when Marie offers him ownership of the casino. Marie played sexy Cora in The Quick And The Dead. Warner Brothers had actors under contract and used them in various roles. An epitaph is a phrase on a tombstone.

Not Bad, But Not Maverick
zsenorsock15 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those later episodes where the writers appeared to forget what show they were writing for. This starts off as a fine Maverick premise, with Bart winning more money at a roulette wheel than the gambling hall can afford to pay. But then it degenerates into a melodramatic western and the worse offense of all, Bart tears up the IOU he is owed and walks off. Yes, Maverick has been known to do selfless things, but not walk away from money. Can't see Garner accepting this ending. They would have figured a way for Maverick to lose out or get something else out of his share of the IOU. As a standard western this is okay, but its not really a good example of Maverick.
