Featured review
The Indian Princess and the Colonel's Daughter
In this episode Beau Maverick is on an army post and making a few dollars playing
poker at the sutler's store. Roger Moore is also wooing the Colonel's daughter Janet Lake. But when she throws him over in a fit of pique he gives the various
presents he gave her to visiting Indian princess Andra Martin.
Martin's chief Robert Warwick's daughter and she's got a complaint with sutler Richard Coogan who is giving her rancid flower and diseased cattle and threatens to expose his dirty dealings. To prevent that Coogan murders her brother and throws the blame on Roger Moore.
After that things get a bit too silly and unreal and this is not the best of Maverick stories. It does however briefly touch on a serious item. Since its creation in 1849 the Interior Department which handled Indian affairs was a patronage cesspool for both parties and corrupt Indian agents were a rule not an exception. Coogan and partner John Zacaro got their appointments no doubt through political connections. An interesting backstory for this episode.
Funny in spots but more silly tha funny.
