S4E114 -Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen: A Fool And His Money!

On THUBWAY THAM MEETS THE CRIMSON CLOWN, by Johnston McCulley

It's interesting to consider which characters fall into obscurity and which remain relevant. Johnston McCulley's most famous creation, Zorro, is of course still a household word. His other creations, Thubway Tham and The Crimson Clown, have been completely forgotten, even though they were nearly as popular in their day. Both thieves, albeit of two very different sorts, the two even met in the crossover novel Thubway Tham Meets the Crimson Clown, and it's that we're looking at today!
