Lew Grade, who financed The Protectors, described this as "the worst episode he had ever seen of anything".
The only episode of The Protectors directed by the leading man, Robert Vaughn.
This episode, directed by Vaughn, guest starred his girlfriend (at the time) and his future wife, actress Linda Staab, whom he met in 1970 and married on June 29, 1974.
FACTUAL ERROR: In the bar scene Linda states that a Rusty Nail cocktail contains bourbon and brandy. Actually the usual ingredients are Scotch and Drambuie.
