  Episode Notes  
The character of Cotton Hawes was a regular in the novels on which the series was based but this episode marked his only appearance on the TV series.
 
John Aniston, seen here in small early acting role, is the father of actress Jennifer Aniston.
 
Robert Colbert had previously played Brent Maverick on Maverick. He would later appear on Time Tunnel and The Young and the Restless.
 
One difference between the Cotton Hawes character of the novels and the Cotton Hawes character who appears here is that in the novels he was a bachelor but here he's married.
 
This episode marks the only appearance of Detective Meyer's children.
