Synopsis
Maverick launches its third season with one of the series' best and most fondly remembered episodes, in which James Garner essays the dual role of frontier gambler Bret Maverick and his own, grey-haired "Pappy", Beau Maverick. Having long relied upon the sage advice of their beloved Pappy--which can be boiled down to "get rich quick, love 'em and leave 'em, and steer clear of trouble"--Bret and his brother Bart (Jack Kelly) are shocked to learn that the 60-something senior Maverick has ignored his own advice about women and gotten himself engaged to an 18-year-old New Orleans belle, Josephine St. Cloud (Kaye Elhardt). It turns out that Pappy is being forced into this union by Josephine's disreputable father Rene St. Cloud (Henry Daniell), who has arranged the marriage for purely financial reasons...and who intends to have Pappy bumped off in a duel just after the engagement is announced. To extricate his paternal unit from this dilemma, Bret cooks up a swindle requiring him to pose as a sharpster named Dandy Jim. A pre-stardom Troy Donahue is cast as Josephine's true love Dan Jamison, while "Batman" himself, Adam West, shows up in an unsympathetic role.
