* StopOrIWillShoot: In "The Stolen Wardrobe", two fur thieves trick Miss Brooks into "modelling" clothing stolen from Sherry's Department Store. When Mr. Conklin, Mr. Boynton and Walter Denton innocently ''try'' to return the stolen furs to the store, a policeman fires a shot. This scares off the Madison High gang into fleeing the scene. A later radio report states this was a warning shot into the air. Although PlayedForLaughs, this does show the problems with immediately threatening deadly force.
