Not So Heroic - Episode 3

Melba has a mother-daughter talk with Denise as they sail across the lake on a pleasant Summer’s eve, discussing matters important to a young woman. At what age should she start carrying a firearm? When and where is it appropriate to carry, and what model? What’s going on? Who’s there? Where are they all coming from? Meanwhile Falk foregoes the gun and beats an enemy with his bare hands.

If you could tell those gunshots weren’t from a 9mm H&K VP70z or any kind of Walther, in lieu of complaining to me about the discrepancy, please see your hunter safety teacher so she can give you a puffy sticker.

The Whole Story - Episode 2

After an early morning struggle session, our hero Falk Zildjian takes the witness stand in the trial of the Skee-Ball Racketeers. How many times will he have to repeat The Whole Story? Will justice win in the end? Is the Shoe Shine Man a fan of Christian Bale? What’s in store for anyone who doesn’t listen? This Gun in My Hand.

The opening theme and some incidental music comes from The Sun Sets at Dawn, a 1950 public domain film. The closing theme comes from Killer Bait, a 1949 public domain film. Other incidental or transitional music comes from Hollow Triumph (aka The Scar), a 1948 public domain film. The line about “petroleum jelly, not rubber cement” was something Julian V. used to say thirty years ago.

Skee-Ball Racket - Episode 1

Skee-Ball Racket is the premiere episode of This Gun in My Hand. What we have here is a new old-timey radio play series, brought to you by the National Rifle Manufacturers Association. Falk Zildjian, incomparable hero by virtue of the fact he carries a gun, confronts counterfeiters. Will he bring them to justice? Do you really want me to spoil the premiere episode? Find out for yourself. It's less than nine minutes long and that's including end credits.
