No good scoundrel

This Maverick story has Jack Kelly making the acquaintance of Claude Akins, a no good scoundrel of a man who robs him of $1200.00 for a road stake. But Akins has bigger fish to fry.

Jack Kelly trails him to Denver and beyond where Akins for a big reward is leading Nancy Gates and her fiance Robert Lowery into some sacred Indian burial grounds where he says he saw her husband Charles Cooper who is both wanted for murder and believed to be dead. As proof he brings back a college ring.

Akins is a liar and a scoundrel and a conman, the last he's not very good at. He sort of plays things on the fly without really thinking out any plan. Still he's got an infectious charm about him, just make sure your money is secure.

In fact Claude Akins is the main reason for checking out this particular Maverick story.
