Handlung
Brett Maverick gilt als gewieftester Spieler und schnellster Schütze des Wilden Westen – auch wenn er keiner Fliege etwas zuleide tun kann. Er befindet sich auf dem Weg nach St. Louis, wo auf einem Schaufelraddampfer ein großes Pokerturnier stattfinden soll. Bei der ereignisreichen Reise trifft Maverick in der cleveren Annabelle und dem schlitzohrigen Sheriff Cooper auf Gleichgesinnte. Nach einer Reihe von aufregenden Abenteuern müssen sie am Pokertisch beweisen, wer der Gerissenste von allen ist.
