Bret Maverick, that charming, amoral gambler of TV fame, is back, and still wreaking comic havoc wherever he goes.| Maverick's out to compete in the Three Rivers Poker Championship, but he's got one small problem: he still needs another three grand for the entrance fee. Soon he's donning disguises, fighting Indians and holding up hooligans... doing anything he must to get that cash. Rolling Stone
