The only person who can clear Bret of a robbery charge has been marked for death by the notorious gunfighter/gambler Doc Holliday.

There's gold in them thar hills, and Bart Maverick and Big Mike McComb are out to get it. But so are four nasty Mexican banditos.

Bart Maverick is in search of a thief who stole his money but gets sidetracked into accompanying a young woman searching for her missing husband into forbidden Sioux territory.

Bret attends a hanging under very uncomfortable conditions: he's the intended victim.

Bart meets a gentleman after his own heart — who skips town with his money, and leaves him to face a murder rap and a man-hungry female (Arlene Howell).

In Mexico, Bret tries to trick an American renegade into returning to the U.S. — where he's wanted for murder.

Bret Maverick suspicions are aroused when he is forced to leave Ten Strike, New Mexico. Determined to stand his ground, Maverick stays in Ten Strike long enough to uncover a bizarre plot of murder and blackmail. Two gunmen, Vic Nolan (Adam West) and Eddie Burke (William Gordon), try to scare Maverick out of town.

Bret accompanies a beautiful singer (Peggy King) on a search for her missing husband and finds himself falling helplessly in love.
