This Maverick story has Alan Hewitt town boss proving to be a very sore loser
at poker and so he has Jack Kelly worked over and the winnings taken back. But
Ed Nelson who is Hewitt's brother is feuding with him and he offers Kelly a
proposition to get his winnings back and teach Hewitt a lesson in humility.
Do you remember the classic Abbott&Costello film The Wistful Widow Of Wagon Gap? It's where Lou Costello supposedly shoots Marjorie Main's husband and he escapes the noose because there is a law that says he can beat the rap by agreeing to support the widow. And whoever shoots Costello inherits supporting Marjorie Main and her tribe of kids.
Among Hewitt's enterprises is life insurance which Jack Kelly takes out a policy and the pay out to the now departed James Garner from the series would be considerably more than what Hewitt owes Kelly.
For a little insurance on his own Kelly gets Peter Breck playing Doc Holliday to be his bodyguard.
A few twists in the story you might not see coming makes this a fine story.
