Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode was a backdoor pilot for a possible spin-off series,starring returning series characters, Marcus Aurelius 'Gabby' Hayes (Louis Gossett Jr.), and Gandolph 'Gandy' Fitch (Isaac Hayes),as a pair of private investigators - one a smooth-talker (Gabby), the other the muscle (Gandy), with the proposed title of Gabby & Gandy. The pilot was not picked up to series.
- GoofsThe money owing to the missing heir is $600,000. Marcus Hayes draws up a contract to get 40% of that, which would be $240,000, for himself for notifying the heir. But afterward he mentions $400,000 several times as the expected take. (Note: O'Herlihy wasn't aware of the inheritance amount. Apparently, the contract Hayes had drawn up would've given O'Herlihy $400,000, with Hayes acquiring the leftover $200,000 plus the 40%).
