The second season of Maverick opens with James Garner in a real jackpot as a man who robbed a Wells Fargo office and killed a clerk plants some incriminating
evidence on Garner. What to do but escape and find the real robber. Hard to do
since Garner was tried and convicted and now is scheduled to be hanged.
But the Mavericks are men who rely on their wits and the highlight of this episode is to see how James Garner cons Ray Teal the sheriff and Jay Novello the coroner to letting him escape. Teal is far from the upright Roy Coffey the sheriff of Virginia City on Bonanza. He's a greedy soul as his Novello and Garner plays them like piccolos.
Whitney Blake is in this episode too as the wife of the man who really robbed the Wells Fargo. But seeing Garner with Teal and Novello is priceless.
