Based on the novels by Frances Crane, The Adventures of the Abbotts featured the mystery-solving husband and wife team, Pat and Jean Abbott! This particular episode, “The Clicking Silver,” tells the story of a visit to a steel factory that results in murder and a reunion with an old flame! (Fair warning, the story includes a reference to a husband “spanking the daylights” out of his wife, ostensibly not “fun” spanking.) What is the clicking silver? Why does Pat treat his suspects so differently than any other detective would? Can we actually lose sponsors if we don’t have any? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

This wasn’t kink code, this wasn’t consensual, this is re-enforcing that women can be physically beaten by men, in order to control them and society was fine with it (read, the men in society).
Looking at how prevalent domestic violence was back then, this is a joke in the whole “it funny because it’s true” way.
