Synopsis:

Inspired by Kenny Rogers' Grammy Award-winning song written by Don Schlitz, The Gambler established a Country and Western legend, laying strong foundations for one of the most successful and longest-running TV miniseries in television history. In this fourth instalment, Brady Hawkes (Kenny Rogers) faces his biggest challenge yet, placing his name and reputation in jeopardy and threatening his very livelihood. With the looming shadow of a Congressional outlaw of gambling, Hawkes is in a bind. But when feisty young Burgundy Jones (Reba McEntire) recruits the legendary gambler to weave his winning ways in a cross-country journey from Mexico to San Francisco there's still plenty of luck to be had. Heading for one last high-stakes hurrah in San Francisco there are shoot-outs galore as greedy villains follow their trail, crossing paths with legendary outlaws such as the infamous Wyatt Earp. Also featuring Linda Evans, Patrick McNee, Mickey Rooney and a posse of stars from classic TV Westerns, including Gene Barry, Chuck Connors, Paul Brinegar, Brian Keith and David Carradine as swift-kicking Kwai-Chang Caine, The Gambler Returns - The Luck of The Draw is a winning combination of eagle-eye cardsharps and Wild West action-adventure.

The Gambler Brady Hawkes is back and he's about to lose his primary means of livelihood, when a law banning gambling is about to be passed. But in honor of that there's going to be one last great poker game and all what one needs to join is one hundred thousand dollars. A madame named Burgundy Jones along with four other madames is willing to put up the money for Brady but first he has to compete against four other gamblers in the end it comes down to Brady and a man named Cantrell. Brady barely beats him. So he, and Burgundy, and an old friend of his, Ethan Cassidy sets for the game which is in San Francisco. But Cantrell's a sore loser and is following them hoping to get the money so that he can join the game. Also following them is a band of outlaws who were planning to steal the money but Brady left with it before they got there. And along the way they encounter and/or are aided by some famous individuals like Wyatt Earp, The Rifleman, Cheyenne Bodie, Diamond Jim Brady, Bat Masterson, Judge Roy Bean, and President Teddy Roosevelt. Brady is also feeling that he might not have what he has to win; it seems that some time ago in Europe he lost a big game to an Englishman, and by strange coincidence he is also at the game.
