A model and photographer is found dead in a phony electric chair on a Wild West museum. Initially, it looks like she was beaten to death, but Amos takes the investigation in a different direction when he learns that carbon monoxide poisoning was the real cause of death.

Trivia

Behind the Scenes

Guest star Dean Jones played the role of Detective Tim Tilson in the series' pilot, "Who Killed Julie Greer?", which aired two years earlier on The Dick Powell Theatre.

Allusions and References

Early in the episode, Burke is searching around Professor Kingston's property and does a double-take upon seeing a tombstone reading 'He called Bat Masterson a liar'. This is an obvious in-joke relating to series star Gene Barry having previously played Bat Masterson in that popular series.
