This episode's title and plotline are an homage to Mark Twain, whose short story "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" addresses how quickly "honest" citizens can change their stripes when tempted with large sums of money. See more...

The Man Who Broke the Bank at Red Gap (season 2, episode 17)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: An egotistical, prissy and dishonest lawyer like Mr. Fletcher wouldn't make the mistake of allowing his name to be misspelled on his office door. It reads "Winfred Fletcher." His first name, as it's pronounced throughout the episode, is "Winford."

Dreadful Sorry, Clementine (season 2, episode 10)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Heyes burns the photo - but he shouldn't have been able to. In the 1880s, it should be printed on tin and not on paper.

Shootout at Diablo Station (season 2, episode 11)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Well within earshot of the others in the small room, Curry comments to Heyes (purely for the viewers' benefit, since Heyes already knows it) that if Lom Trevors is killed, their amnesty will go with him. This information should have blown their cover, but for some strange (and unbelievable) reason, no one wonders what he's talking about.

⇓

Plot hole: Though they often had to race off leaving everything behind, and never carried more than two small saddlebags and a thin blanket roll on their horses, Heyes and Curry somehow always had the same heavy winter coats to wear, and the same dress hats and suits to change into whenever needed. Ben Murphy called this phenomenon "our magic saddlebags."

Shootout at Diablo Station (season 2, episode 11)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Gorman's left hand is in two places at once during the card game. We see it resting on his thigh under the table. One shot later, without time for him to move, both his hands are holding his cards.

⇓

Continuity: The stage driver's hat is white when they leave town, black during the trip, and white again when they arrive at the station.

Six Strangers at Apache Springs (season 2, episode 7)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Heyes' horse is shot out from under him by the Chiracahua, forcing him to leave it behind and ride double with Curry. But when they return to Apache Springs, Heyes is again riding the same horse that was shot earlier.

Alias Smith and Jones (90 min.) (season 1, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Harker confiscates firearms from five Devil's Hole members who are playing poker in the saloon. The sixth member is down in the tunnel, and didn't turn over his gun. Yet when the outlaws go to collect their weapons, six are given back their side-arms.

The McCreedy Bust (season 1, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: While he's working to open the safe, Heyes is wearing his coat. Then he isn't. Then he is again.

The Long Chase (season 3, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: The sheriff and his posse raise huge dust clouds as they gallop down the road. But the stagecoach they're chasing, with four horses and four wheels, is on the same road and isn't raising any dust at all.

Six Strangers at Apache Springs (season 2, episode 7)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: During the saloon brawl, recycled footage causes Curry to change into his first season hat for a few shots. After the fight, he has his second season hat back on.

Edit Submitted by Jean G Time

Alias Smith and Jones (90 min.) (season 1, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Heyes and Curry ride out of town wearing shirts and vests. Both turn to look behind them when they hear the posse coming. As they spur their horses into a gallop, they're suddenly wearing heavy coats.

The McCreedy Bust (season 1, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Heyes and Curry walk into the saloon covered with trail dust from head to toe. But when they leave, Heyes' hat is spotless.

Everything Else You Can Steal (season 2, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Blake spies on Heyes, Curry and Louise as they sit together on the picnic blanket. But in the view through his telescopic gunsight, Louise is missing. When the shot returns to the camera's normal POV, she's sitting right between Heyes and Curry, where Blake's sight couldn't possibly have missed her.

Something to Get Hung About (season 2, episode 6)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: After the street brawl, Heyes, Curry and Stokely walk away arm-in-arm and pass a man in a 20th Century short-sleeved blue shirt with a very 20th Century haircut, leaning on a piece of equipment to the right of the screen - apparently one of the film crew.

How to Rob a Bank in One Hard Lesson (season 2, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Harry tosses the cloth bag toward the well, it lands on bare ground with a few strands of straw nearby. But in long shot, it's surrounded by heaps of straw.

Journey from San Juan (season 1, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Curry kisses Michelle outside her hotel room. When the camera angle is on him, his right hand is on her shoulder. When it switches to her, his hand is instantly down at her waist.

The McCreedy Bust (season 1, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Heyes and Curry leave the saloon and walk across the street, a microphone mounted on the camera rigging pops up into the shot at the bottom of the frame and follows along beside them. (This is visible in the US aired and vhs versions, but was edited out of both the BBC version and the recent dvd release.)

Alias Smith and Jones (90 min.) (season 1, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Miss Porter enters the office, the coffee mug on Lom's desk jumps from the blotter onto the wood surface between shots, even though no one touches it. It also reverses its orientation: the handle switches from pointing left to pointing right.
