The most gentlemanly of Bly's gang, Brett Bones, is running numerous gambling operations on a riverboat in Louisiana. Socrates manages to lose a great deal of money to Bones, and Brisco tries to bring him in. Bones has a pardon from the governor of Louisiana, so Brisco must lure Bones out of the state and into Mississippi where he can legally arrest him. Brisco takes on the role of Roscoe Merriwether and manages to repeatedly outcheat Bones in cards and in a rigged boxing match (with help from Lord Bowler and another man whose brother Bones killed)). Dixie Cousins eventually shows up and "betrays" Brisco's real identity to Bones. It's all a ploy, though. In a rematch, Bowler has to hold his own against Bones' boxer for real long enough for Brisco and Dixie to redirect Bones' riverboat into Mississippi, which they manage to do. Bones is carted off to jail.
