On his way to mine the pockets of Black Hills gold seekers, Bret Maverick joins forces with Dandy Jim Buckley to settle a common score they each have with a Deadwood saloon owner. Along the way, a treasure map to $40,000 of buried Wells Fargo gold dust also leads, quite literally, directly to jail.
