Show Notes:
1. The burned farmhouse that The Roan Ranger and Tronno are investigating was the site of a shoot-out between The Phantasm and jewel thieves in Episode 13, “OnlyPhantasm.” Later in that episode, Falk, The Phantasm and his colleague Paul confronted The World Crime Syndicate. More recently the farmhouse was destroyed during a larger battle between the World Crime Syndicate, Defenders of the Hearth, G.I. Jake and several other heroes from the Tri-State Area (an event mentioned but not depicted in Episode 37, “Strikeforce Shakespeare”).

2. There’s a hoodlum named “Scar” with an Italian accent in an episode of Green Hornet (“Sales Tax Racket, broadcast October 17, 1939). Falk apparently thinks this is the same guy because of his accent. In fact, there’s a bad guy named “Scar” in an episode of the Lone Ranger. Maybe Scar from the Old West was the great uncle of Scar from Green Hornet’s time?

3. “Ma Roan” was first mentioned in episode 17, “The Long, Dark Night Vision Scope of the Soul.”
