This is the second of four stories that Gavin MacLeod appears in for this series, each time playing a different character. His career was soon to take off, playing recurring roles in several popular TV shows of the '60s, '70s, and '80s: most particularly as Happy in McHale's Navy (1962), Murray Slaughter in The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970), and, perhaps best remembered, as Captain Stubing in The Love Boat (1977).
This is the ninth of 20 appearances Frank Wilcox makes in this series, each time playing Federal DA Beecher Asbury.
