This is the celebrated Maverick spoof of Jack Webb's Dragnet, complete with deadpan narration by protagonist Bret Maverick (James Garner). Travelling by stagecoach to the town of Apocalypse, Bret is in the middle of a blackjack game with a tinhorn gambler (John Vivyan) when the coach is held up an effusively friendly masked bandit, who wears distinctively colorful bandana. Subsequently endeavoring to recover his stolen money, Bret follows the trail of clues to a whiskey-loving cowpoke named Johnny Rain (William Reynolds), who honestly can't remember if he has been robbing stagecoaches while drunk. Dance hall gal Millie Reid (Dolores Donlon) is a key player in the "Just the facts, ma'am" intrigue. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
