John Shearin

A relatively boring Los Angeles couple discovers a bizarre, if not murderous, new way to get the funding they need for opening their dream restaurant.

James Garner returns to his signature role, as the affable grifting gambler. BRET MAVERICK sees the king of cardsharps getting tied down and trying to play it respectable - almost! After winning a saloon in a high-stakes poker game, Bret sets down roots, and partners up with an upright ex-sheriff. But rogues win out, and Bret still schemes and stirs up trouble, despite the sheriff's best efforts.
