Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSketch artist and reporter "Clement Samuels" is a play on the name and appearance of real-life Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name, "Mark Twain". In reality, Twain was never a documented sketch artist and only worked as a reporter on overseas assignments and only worked as such in 1865-67, not Virginia City as presented here.

[first lines]
[Beau walks into an empty saloon, finds the bartender snoring behind the bar and wakes him up]
Beauregarde Maverick: Doctor Livingston, I presume.
Hank: [yawning] Excuse me, the name's Hank.
Beauregarde Maverick: Well, Hank, what happened to Virginia City? I've never seen it so empty.
Hank: Yeah, this place hasn't been as empty as this since Eta Lincoln played McGuire's Theater... in tights.
Beauregarde Maverick: Who's not wearing what today?
Hank: Oh, no, it ain't that. Kizia Bouchet is staging a prize fight for the heavy-weight championship.
The episode is an interesting combination of plot elements from Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, Gaslight, and the real life and adventures of Alice Roosevelt Longworth when she lived in the White House with her father Theodore Roosevelt. Crowley is an oddball heiress, she does things like chase fire engines, promotes prize fights and smokes cigars in public. Definite no-nos for well bred women of the time.
Roger Moore becomes her benefactor and protector and does in fact uncover a plot against her. He turns the tables magnificently.
