One of my favorites of the series, this episode showcases Jack Kelly's fine comedic acting along with one of the most beautiful women to grace the television screen, Merry Anders.
Although the plot is a tad hokey, the writing is clever and Kelly's facial reactions to some of the knottier situations are priceless, particularly the one in which his character, the unrepentant gambler Bart Maverick, discovers he is running for state senator as the Reform Ticket candidate.
This episode features a rare running gag in which Bart is constantly stymied in his attempts to play poker by the repeated interruptions of Anders' character, the prudish but delectable Penelope.
Overall, a really good episode.
