The Maltese Falcon is poked fun at with this episode of Murder She Wrote. The name " The Szechuan Dragon " echos "The Maltese Falcon ", the 3 characters in pursuit of it, their double dealing, and at the end when the dragon is proved worthless ( same as the Falcon ) off they go in pursuit of the ( they hope ) real dragon. All in all, good fun.
