"The Lone Wolf used a coin as a calling card, and the program always opened
with a shot of that coin, which he has tossed onto a bar or table and it
would spin, as a coin does, until it stopped and you could see that there
was the image of a wolf on it and the words "The Lone Wolf" inscribed
around the circumference."
