PRODUCTION CREDITS

As far as we know, this episode has not survived, so full production details are not available. Arthur Pierson was probably the director, as he directed the first ten episodes of the series, which would include this one. Edward Nassour was certainly the producer and Joel Murcott would have been the story supervisor, a role he performed for the entire series.

COMMENTS
The only details we have about this lost episode are preserved in The TV Collector magazine, which gives a brief plot summary and the names of the guest stars. Charles Horvath , who played the shopkeeper in the sixth episode, Trade of the Killer, also worked on this episode while he was in Mexico (click on link to read about that episode and see two photos). As mentioned there, Horvath was a bit of a Hollywood B-films stalwart and had been around since the late-1940s. He began his career as a stunt man before moving to

acting. He appeared in westerns like Colorado Territory (1949) with Joel McCrae, Dallas (1950) with Gary Cooper, and The Man Behind the Gun (1953), with Randolph Scott. He also appeared in one of the Jungle Jim films, Voodo Tiger (1952), with Johnny Weissmuller. His face would have been very well-known to television viewers for he appeared as a guest in numerous television series, including Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, The Twilight Zone, and The Untouchables. The other guest star in this episode, Romney Brent (above), was a Mexican actor/producer/playwright, who had been living in the US for many years. He worked in Hollywood from 1930 to the early-1960s, before returning to Mexico, where he spent the last decade of his life. His major film role was as Spain's King Phillip II in The Adventures of Don Juan (1948), with Errol Flynn. He also worked extensively in television and was a regular guest on Zorro, with Guy Williams, in the late-1950s.
