    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The vase destroyed in this episode is identical to the one that is destroyed in The Night of the Torture Chamber (1965).
    • Goofs
      When West is handed the gun the first time by the doctor, he fires three times. On the first and third shot, the small explosion that happens at the end of the barrel when a round is triggered occurs. On the second shot, there is nothing that comes out the end of the barrel. Likely caused by a misfire, which no sound would have occurred.

      • James T. West: Must be some reason.
      • Artemus Gordon: I can't think of any.
      • James T. West: It is a problem.
      • Artemus Gordon: Um-hmmm...
      • [the door burst open. Arcularis begins to cry out and scream]
