The music that introduces this episode's second act would later be used as the theme for the "Have Gun - Will Travel" radio series. It concluded each audio episode in addition to being played during the opening narration that came just after Paladin's dramatic introductory quote. (The quotation itself was accompanied by the equally dramatic trademark music used at the beginning of each TV show.)
At the end of the episode Paladin (Richard Boone) shakes hands with a customer at the tailor shop he addresses as "Governor Irwin" (Carlyle Mitchell) and the governor is familiar with Paladin. William Irwin was the 13th governor of California (December 9, 1875 - January 8, 1880), establishing the time period of this series as the mid to late 1870s.
