Episodes Include: The .22 Caliber Pistol; The Center Fire .32; The Bathtub; The Gladstone Bag; The Blood Stained Brickbat; The Brass Button; The Weed Killer; The Canvas Bag; The Car Tire; The Champagne Glass; The Hammer; The Door Key; Four Small Bottles; The Receipt; The Glass Shards; The Hammerhead
