This episode was a parody of "The Untouchables", a series produced by Desilu Productions, the company owned by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball.
Including announcer Walter Winchell, this show features four principal performers and two recurring background players from the Desilu series, The Untouchables.
Lucy assumes the name of "Rusty" in both Lucy the Gun Moll and Lucy and the Lost Star. In both episodes they play The Untouchables Theme Song.
