Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKid Hogan's weight is never given, but given his size, he is either a heavyweight or a light heavyweight. If so, the "Champ" he's supposed to fight would be either Joe Louis (heavyweight champion from 1937 to 1949) or Gus Lesnevich (light heavyweight champion from 1941 to 1948).
- GoofsIn the end credits, Dick Bakalyan is credited as Knucks O'Neill, but in the episode he is consistently referred to as Mattie O'Neill.
- Quotes
Inspector Richard Queen: [leaving to investigate the death of a professional boxer, while Ellery, working on his latest book, is only half paying attention to him] You sure you won't come along, son?
Ellery Queen: Huh? Oh, no, thanks, Dad.
Inspector Richard Queen: Might be interesting from a research point of view. Prizefighter gets killed while training for championship bout?
Ellery Queen: Some other time.
Inspector Richard Queen: Well, if it ever happens again, I'll be sure to let you know.
Ellery Queen: Thanks, Dad.
Inspector Richard Queen: You know, when you're working on a book, you're great company. Of course, if I want conversation, I can always talk to the goldfish.
Ellery Queen: Oh, that's nice.
Inspector Richard Queen: On second thought, the goldfish might make more sense. Well, see you later. Don't overdo it.
Ellery Queen: [comes up for air] Dad, are you going somewhere?
Inspector Richard Queen: Whatever gave you that idea?
