It was amusing to see the same brat Gilbert who was always getting Beaver in trouble on Leave It To Beaver, on a differt show. He is still being an annoying brat when he takes a shot at Paul Drake at the end of this episode.
Another amusing moment occurred that reminded me of another old TV show. When Lieutenant Tragg is on the stand he is presented with a "mulage" of shoe prints which are key to the case. I could not help but be reminded of the Andy Griffith Show when the farmer was having a plague of cow thefts from his farm. When the state man comes to help the investigation he asks Barney if a mulage had been made. Barney replied "No we decided to keep it quiet and not make a big mulage out of it.

In this episode a grouchy American who looks like Mark Twain having a rough day, tries to bully Holmes while wanting to free his governess. This is a great episode. It has everything from the hot blooded Brazilian wife to the young beautiful innocent governess accused of killing the wife. The only thing unbelievable is that the two women would fall so hard for such a rude grouch. Of course he is the gold king so I guess that has something to do with his magnetism.
I also found it humorous that the ugly American had been a senator of some western state. I guess those states out west aren't very discriminating when it comes to electing senators. Present day Missouri comes to mind.

The best thing about this episode was the bar that Holmes and Watson found the crooked man doing tricks. Everybody was happy and singing. All the women were beautiful. They were all so happy they weren't even put off by the odd appearance of the magician. Watson seemed to enjoy the place, but Holmes gave a frown.
The work done by Holmes was not that important as when the dead mans wife woke up she would have told the story to the police and both she and the crooked man would have been absolved of any suspicion of the colonel"s death.
