English Summary:

In the American Old West, gambler Bret Maverick is on his way to a major five-card draw poker tournament being held on the paddle steamer Lauren Belle. Maverick wants to prove he is the best card player of his time. Short $3,000 of the $25,000 tournament entry fee, Maverick travels to the town of Crystal River, intending to collect on debts and win money at card games. At an impromptu poker game, he encounters the ill-tempered gambler Angel, the young con artist Annabelle Bransford, and lawman Marshal Zane Cooper. He wins a massive pot from Angel, but must flee without collecting his winnings.

Maverick, Bransford and Cooper journey out of Crystal River together, overcoming runaway stagecoaches and aiding migrant missionary settlers who have been waylaid by bandits. The settlers offer Maverick a percentage of the money they have desperately need to start their mission, while one spinster missionary suggests marriage to Cooper, but both men turn down their offers. The trio are later cornered by a band of Indians led by Joseph. His companions are unaware that Joseph and Maverick are good friends; Maverick "sacrifices" himself to allow his companions' escape. Joseph owes $1,000 to Maverick; they swindle that amount from a Russian Archduke with a scheme that "allows" him to hunt and kill an Indian (Maverick, in disguise).

Hungarian Summary:

Macerick, a vadnyugat legkiválóbb kártyása elhatározza, hogy indul minden idők legnagyobb, félmillió dolláros főnyereményű pókerbajnokságán, ám már az odave- zető úton egyik zűrből a másikba kerül. Hamis játékért csaknem felkötik, több- ször elveszti, majd visszanyeri a nevezési díjat, egy rendőr üldözi, s legve- szélyesebb ellenfele épp tőle akarja elcsenni a nevezéshez hiányzó néhány dollárt.
