Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis time roles are reversed as Jack Kelly makes an uncredited cameo in a vignette at the beginning of the episode to introduce a Bret-only story. He also provides the episode's voiceover narration.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, a lone horseman, presumably Bret Maverick, seen riding in the barren Wyoming Territory landscape, bears no relationship in looks and outfit to Bret Maverick as he is met at Black Fire Ranch. As Maverick (probably a stand-in) rides into the ranch, the horse he is riding changes from a dark horse with dark tail to a dark horse with flowing white tail and white fetlocks. As James Garner dismounts at the ranch house, the horse is once again dark with dark tail and fetlocks.
- Quotes
Cousin Elizabeth: General, do you know that's the third glass of whiskey you've drunk since we sat down to table?
General Eakins: If I took the time to count, I wouldn't have the time to drink.
Featured review
Ten little heirs
Crusty old Will Wright invites a whole passle of relatives to his Ponderosa like
ranch for a family reunion. Most of them he can't stand but they are his heirs
and he wants to look over and decide who gets what in the will.
One of them is Hans Conreid who has a premonition and asks his friend Bret Maverick to come with him and exchange identities.
Sure enough just like in Ten Little Indians heirs start getting dead. And it's a good group of familiar character players who are the heirs.
It never gets down to all of them being dispatched and James Garner does come up with the solution before they all die. Will Wright and Hans Conreid do make an interesting pair of cynics. They have more in common than they first realize besides being blood relations.
Nicely done story.
