MacLeod's old friend, Kit O'Brady, comes into town in search of a good race horse and a change of luck. MacLeod knew Kit back in Gold Rush San Francisco, when Kit ran the Double Eagle Saloon. Kit lost the Double Eagle to Amanda in a poker game, who then renamed it Queen of Spades and has blamed her ever since for his string of bad luck—and he's vowed to kill her if he ever sees her again. When Amanda chooses to breeze back into MacLeod's life while Kit is there (in addition, her hatred for Kit hasn't wavered either), MacLeod is hard pressed to keep them apart and to keep them from killing each other.

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or eagle:
“The Cossack eats Poland,
Like stolen fruit;
Her last noble is ruined,
Her last poet mute:
Straight, into double band
The victors divide;
Half for freedom strike and stand;—
The astonished Muse finds thousands at her side.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The Eagle has landed.”
—Neil Armstrong (b. 1930)
