Bret travels from Memphis to New Orleans by riverboat. On a losing streak, he even loses the $1000 bill pinned inside his coat. He is hired to bring a killer back from Mexico, where he takes a job in La Cantina Americana. Bret gets his man after some twists and turns. Gerald Mohr as Corbett is the man who escaped to Tampico. He had me fooled, too. Amy is the singer with her own agenda, and Corbett is under her spell. When Bret rids the Cantina of card cheats, he is jumped in the street. Corbett saves his life, and the two men get close. In Corpus Christi, Bret does what he has to do, and Corbett says he didn't want to die in Mexico, anyway. Lincoln's portrait on the wall gives us a sense of the time period.
