Episode Quotes
Artemus: No, it isn't that, it's hay-fever. All I have to do is go through Kansas, I become a handkerchief case.
James: How'd you get in the Secret Service with hay-fever?
Artemus: I kept it a secret.

Artemus: You know, around here, a hundred miles from nowhere, the women, they don't know the difference between fine jewelry and Indian beads. They think a caret is to feed a horse.

Franklin Poore: I assume the Secret Service has a substantial insurance plan to comfort your loved ones.
James: Double indemnity if I'm barbequed in the line of duty.

Artemus: Whoa, my pleasure. Hey, she's lovely.
James: Just say the word and I'll arrange an introduction.
Artemus: Consider the word said. What's her name?
James: Jennifer Colton. Alias Prudence Mallory. And if you lighten the hair just a little, you'll know her as Abigail Moss, wanted in four states.
Artemus: Why do you always have to spoil everything?
James: Artie, I didn't spoil a thing. If you want to see her, you can on the first Sunday of every month.



Episode Goofs
When Jim sits in the chair and is "ejected" up into the ceiling, the pull wires are plainly visible.


When the stagecoach driver tells Abigail when the stage is going back to Kirby Gap, his lips don't move and the dubbing is clearly of a different sound quality then the rest of the dialogue.


In the final fight, Ross Martin's stunt double is clearly visible and looks very little like him.
