Episode Notes
 
This episode features Robert Conrad in a minor role as a boxing trainer. Conrad was a trained boxer and stuntman in real life, and would go on to play a bad guy in two M:I episodes in 1970 and 1972.
 
Barney's training is shown through a montage, the first of only a few times this directorial device was used in the show.
 
Guest agent: Richy Lemoine. Richy appears to be a civilian since Jim recruits him after selecting him in the dossier scene, and there's no reason to believe Richy is a full-fledged IMF agent or consultant prior to this episode.
