Efrem Zimbalist Jr. makes the first of several guest appearances as Dandy Jim Buckley, a gentleman gambler best described as "Bret Maverick without scruples." After they're both tossed off a riverboat, Jim and Bret (James Garner) head to Deadwood in hopes of getting even with bare-knuckle boxer Battling Krueger (Pat Comiskey), the man responsible for their ignominious plight. Our heroes end up wagering heavily on a boxing match between Krueger and brawny backwoodsman Noah Perkins (Mike Lane)--but when Noah fails to show up for the bout, the hapless Bret ends up in the ring.
