The first story was inked by Murphy Anderson, and the second was inked by Sid Greene, and the contrast drove home the reasons that I have always preferred Anderson's inks on Kane. Greene's inks rounded out Kane's figures, but too much so and made them look kind of balloon-ish to my eyes. Also, Greene would always draw people's eyes so that the whites were pronounced and the pupils were tiny, making everyone look constantly surprised.

Davis tap-dances his way into the homicide office swinging a dandified, gold-handled cane. After some bi-play with Gene Barry, Davis looks at the cane, then at Burke, and says, "Hey! Didn't I see you. . .?" -- a reference to Gene Barry carrying an identical cane in his previous Bat Masterson series.

Burke interviews about five people, usually only two of these offer any real information, and the rest are just shoehorned in as roles for guest stars. There ultimately is only one or two actual clues dug up before Burke mostly intuits who the murderer is.
