Episode Guide
This episode introduces Roger Moore in the role of Cousin Beauregard Maverick. Beau is regarded as the family’s 'white sheep' for earning a Civil War medal—an accolade he won by pure accident. Pappy banishes him to England for five years, since no Maverick had ever proven himself a hero. When he returns to America, Bart Mavrick greets him and enlists his cousin to impersonate the son of the Marquis of Bognor, who had been indentured to work on a ranch in Wyoming for six months. The Maverick cousins stand to earn $4,000, but the plan goes awry when Beau is kidnapped by a man who wants to settle a grudge with the Marquis.
