Description

Another use for the stock Western Costume Company clown costume, this time in the second season episode "Who Killed The Thirteenth Clown" referring to the dozen clowns who, in their circus act, cram into a tiny car. One does not get out alive causing our hero Amos Burke to investigate the mystery. Character actor Jack Weston plays one of the clowns and wears the costume. The costume arrived on the Republic lot in 1955 for their last serial, appeared in THE LONE RANGER, this show and then twice in THE WILD WILD WEST - all filmed at the studio on Radford. It was returned to WCC, eventually.
