- GoofsKojak leaves a tape recorder in Ma Wonderly's office to record her phone conversation. He listens later, hearing both ends of the conversation. But since Ma was using the handset instead of the speaker, this would have made it impossible for Kojak to have heard what the other person said.

Donna Socrates: Now if you need anything else...
Lt. Theo Kojak: I know, I saw the picture. Just pucker up and whistle , right?

Featured review
Horrible
Horribly stupid and overacted episode of an otherwise decent television procedural. The character of Jocelyn Mayfair might have been convincing in 1931 but not 1977. The episode was so convoluted with red herrings and faise starts I couldn't follow it. Even Telly Savalas was irritating at times while George Savalas and Kevin Dobson were fortunately, for them, underused in this lousy story.
The only redeeming and enjoyable bits were those featuring veteran comedic actress Kathleen Freeman, here channeling Alison Skipworth.
The rest is crap. I hope there are no more like it in the Kojak canon.
