Show Notes:
1. This episode was partially inspired by a trope used in the 2020 film Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears.
2. The script said “incalculable hero by virtue of the fact that he carries a gun,” but when I fumbled the word “incalculable” half a dozen times while recording, I changed it to “unpronounceable.”

Credits:
The opening and middle transitional music clips were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

Show Notes:

1. The Knights of Pythias are a real fraternal order.

2. Fran's surname “Shuwatch” is the word Ultraman occasionally shouts. I couldn’t find what it means.

3. The audio and text of This Gun in My Hand are works of fiction. Any resemblance to real people, organizations, companies, buildings, or Spanish shotgun manufacturers is coincidental or intended as satire.
