    Original Airdate:
    February 19, 1961

Synopsis. Near Denver, Colorado, Beau and his friend Judge John Scott find shelter from a blizzard in the home of widow Martha Flood and her niece Sally. Maverick soon discovers that Martha and the judge are plotting to institutionalize Sally in order to take over her inheritance.  

Jeanne Cooper, whom we previously saw in the first-season episode “Naked Gallows,” guest stars as Martha Flood. For many years, Cooper and Robert Colbert starred on the CBS daytime serial The Young and the Restless.
