Jack Weston guest stars as Mr. Neal, a poker addict who has lost $500,000 in a marathon card game. Using the last of her money, Mrs. Neal (Betsy Jones-Moreland) hires Paladin (Richard Boone) to join the game, cut Mr. Neal's losses and bring her husband home. But the other players aren't about to give up their prize patsy--not without a bit of bloodshed. Featured in the cast in a "heavy" role is a young Peter Falk, while future perennial game-show celebrity Brett Somers also has a sizeable role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
