Narrative:
During climbout at approximately 20;000 ft we noticed a right strut #1 detector status message. This was soon followed by a right engine overheat warning. We accomplished the engine overheat QRH procedure; the engine overheat light did not extinguish thus requiring a shut down of the right engine. We performed an air turnback to [departure airport] and accomplished an overweight landing there. The first officer and all of our flight attendants performed exceedingly well. Also ATC and fire [crew] were extremely helpful. It appears that a duct leaking into the right engine strut area was sensed by the overheat detection system triggering the warning.
