Warner Blunders - Episode 67

Close up of an anxious, sweating man sunk up to his shoulders in quicksand. Brown hair, blue eyes. He wears a blue work shirt with a red neckerchief. His left hand drips mud as he holds it up, as his right hand rests on the surface of the quicksand. In the background, a man in brown shirt and pants scrambles with a rope and boat oar, up to his knees in quicksand. A caption at lower left reads, "QUICKSAND! THE SLIME SUCKED US DOWN."

Will Falk be receptive to the warnings of The Warner? How will he escape from a circle of nineteen gunmen? Will that even be resolved by the end of the episode? Listen to find out!

Warner Blunders, episode 67 of This Gun in My Hand, is incredibly unsafe, and the person responsible for putting the public at risk in this manner was Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog.
