This particular Maverick episode just may be Jack Kelly's finest hour in his
Maverick stories. There are elements of a pair of Glenn Ford big screen westerns woven into the plot of this story, Jubal and The Violent Men.
Bart wanders into a one horse hole in the wall town where the leading citizen is rancher Wayne Morris, a bluff, hale and hearty guy who is popular with all except his wife Patricia Barry. She puts up a respectable front however and the only one who doesn't like her id former girlfriend of Morris, Yvette Duguay.
Jack Kelly's horse is frightened by a mountain lion and he's thrown and breaks a leg and he's confined to Morris's ranch. If you know the plots of those two cited Glenn Ford westerns than you can figure out what happens.
This episode is deadly serious, no Maverick style con games are going to get Jack Kelly out of the jackpot he's in and none are tried. There's not a laugh to be had in this episode.
Just some of the best acting in the series.
