On the TV show "The Wild Wild West," what did agent James West keep in his boot heels?

You're all right! From Wikipedia: Most of these gadgets are concealed in West's garments: Sleeve gun (a Remington Double Derringer[51]), featured in many episodes as an unexpected concealed carry alternative to his openly carried full-sized revolver. In a few episodes, the ejecting arm of the device dispensed other useful gadgets, such as a tiny squirt-can containing acid, iron climbing-claws, and various blades. A breakaway Remington Derringer. Usually the frame (handle and trigger mechanism) was located in one hollowed-out boot heel, while the double-barrel assembly was located in the other heel; the two pieces snapped together and locked. Bullets were dispensed from a secret compartment in his belt-buckle, or the chambers were preloaded. A breakaway blowtorch, hidden in the hollowed-out boot heels. ("The Night of the Raven") Lock-pick or passkey concealed under the lapel of the bolero-style jacket. Throwing knife concealed in a pocket inside the back of the jacket. Various explosive devices (i.e. smoke bombs, impact flares, gas grenades, anti-lock key,[52] explosive putty[53] etc.) carried in his jacket pockets, belt buckle, hat, a secret compartment in his holster, and the hollowed-out heels of one or both boots. Various lengths and types of fuses were sewn into the hem of his jacket or the waistband of his pants. A flat metal barbed climbing-spike (piton), with an attached cord, cable or wire. The piton fit the muzzle of either his derringer or revolver and was fired into a wooden beam or wall. West would then use a pulley with a handle to zip-line above obstacles. The equipment was usually carried in his jacket's many inside pockets. A small, hand-held motor-driven winch. When used in conjunction with the piton and wire, the winch could either hoist him upwards, to a building's roof for instance, or lower him into a pit. A thin, telescopic probing rod (similar to a long modern-day car antenna). When extended fully, West could probe approximately ten feet around him. He used this to probe and trigger traps in the Secret Service training room depicted in "The Night of the Janus". A spring-loaded, swing-out knife blade (switchblade) beneath the toe-box of his boot. A glass cutter with a suction cup. A cutting arm rotated to score the glass in a complete circle and the suction cup was used to remove the cut piece. ("The Night of the Camera") A thin but strong wire, coiled and fitted in the inner lining of the crown of his hat; the wire had multiple uses, and was even capable of sawing through a steel bar. Knockout gas in a clay pipe. A battery-powered (or spring-driven) electric drill, that in one episode was roughly the size of a large avocado and used to assist West's escape from a metal cage. West's saddle horn was booby-trapped with a dynamite bullet shell. ("The Night of the Returning Dead")

Carole Benner, it’s a fictional show.

TNT explosive is also a correct answer, as far as I can recall from being a huge Wild Wild West fan.

No idea

Loved the series. Picked wrong gadget.

I watched the weekly program back in the day, but don’t recall the hidden derringer. Then again, there seems to be a lot of things I don’t recall....

They got it wrong.

Got a vague memory of this dude. Pick was the wrong pick though...

Im just saying the author of the question is wrong. Ive seen explosives for a breakout of prison, and a sheepskin condom. Can't be to safe in the Wild, Wild ,West.

never seen the show in the UK just took a guess.

Got it

The original "Bond".

Derringer. 😍

Good question

He'd never make it through security at the airport!

Liz Carret, hope he did not carry all these items at the same time. He would have been weighed down and unable to move. Or he would have looked like Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum all rolled into one. 😂😉😂😉😉

I've seen almost every episode, and I can't remember a gun in his boot
