Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title references the Judas Tree or Cercis siliquastrum, a flowering deciduous tree.
- GoofsFather Devlin, a Catholic priest, admits to Ellery and Inspector Queen that Sherman did not make a formal confession, and Inspector Queen mentions that Sherman was not a Catholic. Therefore, under New York State law in the 1940s (and today), nothing said between the two would be covered by confessional privilege, but neither Queen mentions this.
- Quotes
Inspector Richard Queen: [has walked into the kitchen to find that Ellery has taken apart the kitchen sink] Ellery?
Ellery Queen: Oh, good morning, Dad.
Inspector Richard Queen: Dare I ask what you're doing?
Ellery Queen: I'm fixing the sink. It's been dripping.
Inspector Richard Queen: It's been dripping for three years.
Ellery Queen: Really?
Inspector Richard Queen: I just thought it needed a washer.
Ellery Queen: You know, I tried that, but after I fixed it, it dripped worse than ever!
Inspector Richard Queen: Is that so? Well, imagine that. While you're remodeling in here, I'll have a cup of coffee.
[He goes to the coffee pot. It's empty]
Inspector Richard Queen: I think I'll *make* a cup of coffee.
[He brings the pot over to the kitchen sink and turns on the tap. Nothing comes out]
Inspector Richard Queen: On second thought, maybe I won't have any coffee.
