10/10
A really superb Bart Maverick episode
19 May 2014
This is probably the very best of all of the episodes in which Jack Kelly appears alone. There are two plots, one the search for a man lost in a forbidden region known as The Burial Ground of the Gods, which is sacred to the local Indians, and from which no one who enters is allowed to come out alive. Claude Akins plays a man who mugs Bart to get the money to get to the wife of the missing man, claiming that he can lead her to him.The other plot is Maverick's pursuit of Akins to reclaim his money. Good mixture of exciting action and comedy with Kelly playing off against Akins, who is really funny. They make a great pair reacting with each other. Extremely well done episode showing what a really good actor the much underrated Jack Kelly was.
