The Ghost Went That'a Way
Intriguing premise-- Maverick rides off with a girl who in turn disappears, only to find out she's been dead a week! So, what's going on. Edd "Kookie" Byrnes gets a bit role as a youthful stick- up man that sets off the odd chain of events. Along the way, there's an unusual number of mocking jibes at small towns and the lack of excitement. Of course, with Maverick in town the pace does pick up. Then, when mysterious stranger Rhodes Reason shows up to give Bret an assist, things get more interesting.
These early episodes were pretty cheaply produced. Here the action appears confined to the back-lot, along with an obvious outdoor set scene. As long as the action doesn't flag, these limitations don't much matter. But in those entries that do sometimes drag, the limitations can become obtrusive. The Maverick character is still pretty undefined, appearing again as something of an itinerant drifter. Nonetheless, his trademark black dress coat with silk vest does make an early appearance, along with the rainy-day thousand dollar bill. Too bad that the solution to the mystery-- in my view at least-- doesn't match the intriguing build-up, but still an entertaining entry.
