Synopsis of Maverick: Escape to Tampico

Bret (James Garner) is offered $6000 by the American authorities to bring back accused murderer Steve Corbett (Gerald Mohr), who has hightailed it to Mexico. Heading South of the Border, himself, Bret ends up in the wide-open town of Tampico, where Corbett now runs a tourist camp, the "Cantina Americana." The task at hand for our hero is to devise a strategy to lure Corbett back to the U.S.A. Somewhere along the line, the story evolves into a western variation of Casablanca--not surprisingly, since the Cantina Americana is actually the redressed set of "Rick's Café Americain" from that 1942 film classic. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
