  Episode Notes  
This episode and its companion episode, Jake Dance, served as pilots for a possible spin-off series starring the Dr. Garr and Dr. Gifford characters. The proposed series was to have been entitled White Knights.
 
John Gabriel played the Professor in the pilot for Gilligan's Island but was replaced by Russell Johnson when the show was picked up as a regular series by CBS.

Benno: Stella, did your husband let you out this late?
 
Stella: Be somebody, Benno.
 
Hobson: (about Kurtz) He's coming up fast.
Ness: Too fast.
 
Benno: (about his satchel) I got a hundred grand in here.
Porter: Sure, sure.
 
  Analysis
