Although he has only a cameo in this episode, Lawrence Dobkin as Dutch Schultz becomes the first Untouchables mobster to rise from the dead. The character had been killed off in Season One's The Dutch Schultz Story. Schultz would be followed a few episodes later by Frank Nitti.
| Oscar Beregi makes his first appearance on the show playing a character named Benny Benjamin. In seven subsequent appearances, Beregi's character would be called Joe Kulak although it was basically the same person as in this episode.
| This episode was originally entitled Clay Pigeon.
| Locations: New York City, Niagara Falls

Narrator: Hoodlums with money had become knights of the submachine gun.
| Swinney: You got a lovely place in the Catskills.
Diamond: My wife lives there?
Swinney: So what? No law against a man livin' with his own wife.
| Diamond: (to the boys) Seems like I was scheduled to take on a little extra weight tonight.
| Swinney: (to Diamond) You like to get your name in the paper so much maybe we can get you a back spread on the obituary page.
| Diamond: You're not in Chicago, Ness, knocking over beer parlors. This is New York.
Ness: I know I'm just a country boy but I'll soon get the hang of things.

Steven Hill reminds me more of an arrogant fraternity boy than a notorious gangster in this episode. Throw in the fact that Lawrence Dobkin was wasted in his return as Dutch Schultz and you've got an underachiever of an episode.
