Blazing Saddles Episode 23: Welcome to Hanging House

The Wilder Ride

We begin with Hedley Lamarr looking directly into the camera, asking where he can find such a man? He follows up with, why am I asking you? The sound of a crowd outside gets him to go to the window. As he opens, we see Boris the Hangman saying to Bart, "Welcome to Hanging House!" He then adds, "Not to worry, everyone is equal in my eye." Lamarr gets a sudden bolt of inspiration and nearly chokes on his mint. As we end the episode, Hedley and Bart arrive at the Governor's office. He is no where to be found, but we can hear a woman giggling and him saying, "Not in the ear!" Hedley announces his arrival. Lepetomane asks if it is important to which Lamarr says it is extremely crucial.
