Maverick: Two Tickets to Ten Strike (1959)
Season 2, Episode 24
6/10
Perpetually Perky
8 September 2018
In this episode of Maverick James Garner has to put up with the perpetually perky Connie Stevens on the stagecoach to Ten Strike. I know I would be annoyed as all get out in such a situation. But when they get to the town of Ten Strike it's a different situation.

Stevens is in town looking for a mysterious benefactor. She's an orphan kid who's knocked around pretty good. But someone over the last several years has been supporting her like Pip from Great Expectations. So she confides in town banker Lyle Talbot where the money has been drawn from and she thinks she'd like to meet up with that person, maybe marry them.

But Garner has been told in no uncertain terms by a couple of toughs, Adam West and William D. Gordon, that he should clear out no questions asked. One thing that can never happen is stifle a Maverick's curiosity.

The stories of Garner and Stevens are linked however tangentially from the past. Once Bret Maverick finally remembers it all falls in place. After a couple of deaths however.

Add to this cast Andrea King the owner of the town's saloon who is a business woman like Kitty Russell in Dodge City, but hardly her character.

Connie's perkiness does kind of grow on you after a while.
