Lily Baskin (Judi Meredith) is the dealer of a gambling card game called "Faro" or "Pharaoh". She inherited the game from her father, Billy Baskin (Roy Roberts), a crooked card dealer who was killed by a man named Johnny Cole (Gary Clarke) in a saloon in Missouri after Cole accused her father of cheating.
Then there's the miscasting, which dooms the ep from the first second. Gary Clarke simply has no acting ability to speak of, though Judi Meredith, dreadful as she is here, is normally far, far better. She seems to be conveying contempt for the part, and I honestly wouldn't blame her.
Johnny Cole kills a crooked card dealer in self defense, and then falls in love with the dealer's beautiful daughter, but she resists his advances and wants to seriously hurt him instead.
