    Game at the Beacon Club

    Things get murky for Bronco who is shipping 200 head of cattle on an ocean going ship - the ship sinks, he cast adrift on a boat alongside Gerald J. Harkenss, they head to San Francisco. Thankful that Bronco saved him, Harkness gives him a card allowing him access to the Beacon Club as his guest.

    He decides to check out the club and runs into Harkness' daughter Cynthy who is a snob. As Bronco leaves he runs into another pretty young woman, Amanda Stover, who has overheard him talking to Harkness. She introduces herself as a school teacher with a business opportunity for Harkness. She implores Bronco to introduce her to him which Bronco eventually does.

    She immediately impresses both of them with her poker playing. Harkness agrees to sponsor her in a game for a percentage of the winnings. She wins over a quarter of million dollars. When she skips out on Harkness, Bronco finds himself in trouble with him and others.

    Quite a fun, lighthearted episode with Bronco not facing gunslingers and riding a horse, but he gets more than he bargains for as he gets involved with a con lady, a couple of mean looking Chinese men and those darn glasses. Class and social differences is also touched upon.
