Trivia
This is the final of six appearances of actor Jon Lormer in the role of Harry Tate, editor of Laramie's newspaper, The Free Press. The Tate character is mistakenly shot and killed in lieu of another character. The episode also marks the first of four appearances of actress Barbara Lang as Julie Tate, daughter of the assassinated Harry. Julie assumes editorship of the newspaper.
Goofs
When Julie and Johnny are talking, Julie tells Johnny not to make Marshal Troop sound like some kind of Superman. The character of Superman first appeared in DC Comics in 1938, 58 or more years after the time when Lawman took place.
