"Gambit" is a two-part, seventh-season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that grew from a spec script submission from an Iowa college student, Christopher Hatton, who went on to sell a second spec script for the episode "Thine Own Self".
After hearing a rumor that Captain Picard has been murdered while on an archeological dig, the Enterprise crew sets out to find the smugglers who may have been responsible.
Robin Curtis, who played Lt. Saavik in Star Trek III and IV, guest stars as the Vulcan T'Paal. Sabrina Le Beauf, best known for her role on The Cosby Show, plays Ensign Giusti. Basketball Hall of Fame player James Worthy also has a cameo as the Klingon smuggler Koral.
Riker, Troi, Crusher, and Worf investigate Picard's whereabouts in a musty bar, describing him as a "smooth-headed" human. They find a criminal who knows something; he says that Picard had been asking a group about some artifacts when a fight broke out and Picard was "vaporized".
