Some inside info....

My good friend and writing partner Dudley Bromley wrote this episode. In 1973 the Nixon administration was upset about TV violence and proposed The Family Hour between 8-9 pm. Gunsmoke aired there. The producers decided a light hearted episode would be in order, so they took this spec script from Dudley. We were there and watched the filming.
Another "fun" fact is that the new, young barmaid won her role by being "Miss Hot Pants" of 1972. The producers wrote her part in without telling Dudley--such is the experience of young, inexperienced writers.
