Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This episode is essentially a showcase for singer Peggy King, who receives a rare "guest star" billing in the opening credits (Ms. King had risen to fame as vocalist on George Gobel's popular comedy-variety series). While searching for a fugitive outlaw, Bret Maverick (James Garner) crosses the path of songbird Jenny Hill (Ms. King), who is making a concert tour of the West. Gradually, Bret falls in love with Jenny, unaware that she is using her tour as an excuse to look for her husband--the same outlaw being sought by Mr. Maverick. Leo Gordon makes his last appearance as Big Mike McComb in this final episode of Maverick's second season.
