Fun film, highly entertaining! Quite the adventure. It's a bit cheesy at times and somewhat formulaic, but it's all good fun and well made overall. Acting is spot on and the chemistry is definitely there.

Bret Maverick is a gambler and con artist who needs $3,000 to enter a high-stakes poker tournament on a riverboat. He travels to a small town to collect debts and win money, but ends up encountering a group of bandits, missionaries, and other colorful characters. Along the way, he forms an unlikely partnership with Annabelle Bransford, a young con artist, and Marshal Zane Cooper. The trio narrowly escapes danger multiple times and Maverick manages to swindle an Archduke out of the needed amount.
