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 Long Chase

Mistake 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.

Mistake Continuity: Curry takes his boots off and runs across a patch of very dusty, dirty desert. When he returns to put his boots back on, the white socks are perfectly clean with no dirt on them.

The McCreedy Feud

Mistake Continuity: When they meet Carlotta, Heyes steps forward to greet her wearing his hat. The shot cuts to a different camera angle, and his hat is instantly off and in his hand, without time for him to remove it.

The Clementine Ingredient

Mistake Factual error: Clem puts the paper photo into an envelope and licks the flap to seal it. Paper photographs didn't exist in the 1880s (photos were still tin-types). Pre-cut, pre-gummed envelopes, though they'd been invented, were big-city luxuries rare-to-non-existent in the "wild" west - they were too expensive for most people (like Clem) to afford, especially in the economically depressed decades following the Civil War. You generally cut and folded your own envelopes and glued or sealing-waxed them shut.

Mistake Continuity: Due to the insertion of stock footage, Heyes and Curry ride the short distance to Clem's house on three different sets of horses.

What Happened at the XST?

Mistake Continuity: It's said here that Gorman took care of Heyes and Curry together when they were both 16. But in "High Lonesome Country," Heyes and Curry discuss being two years apart in age. Their wanted posters list Heyes as 29 and Curry as 27.

McGuffin

Mistake Continuity: Heyes and Curry both lose their hats when they jump from the riverboat into the water and swim ashore. There's no time to go back and fish the hats out, even if they could find them, but by the next episode and for the rest of the season, they somehow have the same hats back again.

Mistake Factual error: How Heyes and Curry manage to be riding the same horses they started out with after a 50-mile train ride is a mystery. The train didn't have a livestock car. Flying equines, perhaps?

Only Three to a Bed

Mistake Continuity: Near the end, Heyes leaves the house with his gun strapped on, but when the camera angle reverses, he's not wearing it. It's back in the next shot, though.
