- Brent is arrested for gambling while passing through Sunburst on the stage. When a cell mate is murdered while escaping by three masked men, he is asked to leave on the next stage before his value as an eyewitness proves useful.
- Passing through Sunburst, Brent Maverick is yanked off a stagecoach for owning a deck of cards . Brent's cell-mate was just released after 20 years in prison for murder, but is jailed for throwing a stone at a window in this town which outlaws just about everything. Rubio tells Brent (Robert Colbert) he's back in Sunburst to clear himself and implicate the real killers. Rubio explains Sunburst: "the bride with the whitest veil, has the most to hide." The Sheriff leaves the keys hanging by the jail's open back door, allowing 3 masked men to drag off Rubio and kill him, as Brent watches. The Sheriff offers Brent the chance to vamoose, but the gambler stays to investigate - and to romance the mayor's daughter, who's never been kissed (it's against the law !). The mayor's daughter is played by Nina Shipman, whose grandmother, producer/director/screenwriter Nell Shipman, was the first full-frontal nude in the movie history.—David Stevens
- Brent is indeed yanked off the stagecoach and thrown in jail for apparently owning the cards used on the stage while it is passing through Sunburst. The Plot summary is incorrect in that it indicates Brent 'romance[s] the mayor's daughter." He romances the mayor's niece who is played by Nina Shipman. Rather predictable show with little character development of Brent Maverick in this one. Certainly he was not a replacement for James Garner.
