Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Jack Kelly makes his first appearance as Bart Maverick in this episode, in which Bart and brother Bret find themselves broke and stranded in New Orleans. Hoping to stake themselves to a big poker game being held on a steamboat called the River Princess, the Maverick boys are denied admission by the boat's owner, Andre Devereaux (Stephen Bekassy), a Creole gentleman with a long-standing hatred for Americans. When Devereaux' daughter Yvette (Laurie Carroll) is kidnapped, the Mavericks offer to go to her rescue--not out of any sense of gallantry, but because they still want to get in on that card game.
