Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe sow's title card at the episode' end is unique to the series; instead of featuring the drawing of Maverick on a horse, it's Maverick, riding... Fatima, the camel.
- GoofsThe episode refers to the camel as a "full-blooded Arabian mount", but the camel used in the episode is a Bactrian (two-hump) camel, which lives in Central Asia, not the one-hump dromedary whose range includes the Arabian peninsula.
- Quotes
Brimmer: I'm tapped out, Maverick. I'd like to make you a business proposition. I'll give you the chance to buy a full-blooded Arabian mount for two hundred dollars.
Bret Maverick: Imported Arabian?
Brimmer: Absolutely.
Bret Maverick: If he's all you say he is, it ought to be a bargain.
Brimmer: It's a she. And I'll stand behind every word.
Featured review
A pair of humps
Someone breds a full blooded Arabian stallion and loses when Bret Maverick calls
the hand. He wins an Arabian all right, one of the camels left from Jefferson
Davis's experiment with camels while Secretary of War. Making it worse the
beast is a female and she just loves James Garner.
He can't get rid of her, she follows him from place to place. But she comes in mighty handy when Maverick busts a crooked poker game and the saloon proprietor hires a gunfighter to kill him.
All I can say is that the camel comes in mighty handy during a desert pursuit.
This episode was showing the wit the series was famous for.
