In what movie was the poker hand 'sneaky beaky' involved? One
character supposedly uses this hand to cheat a bumpkin and then when
the bumpkin gets the same hand while the aforesaid character is in
another game, he tells the bumpkin that the hand is only good once.

Hello Mr_powers__-ga

According to a posting at the Internet Movie Database, the Sneaky
Beaky poker hand was in the 1951 film Slaughter Trail with Andy
Devine.

Sneaky Beaky card game featuring Andy?   
Posted August 20,  2004:

?Can anyone tell me in which western movie Andy Devine is playing
poker and loses to another player who has a totally junk hand, but
says the hand is a winner called Sneaky Beaky. Later in the movie at
another card game, Andy draws cards, gets a big smile, lays out the
same junk and goes to claim the pot with Sneaky Beaky. At that point,
the fellow who came up with Sneaky Beaky says that it only works one
time and claims the pot for himself again. My details may be fuzzy. I
recall seeing this movie many years ago one time and thought it was
funny.?
