Notes

add »
"Jinx" contains the best "beefcake bondage" scene in the series since its 9-16-65 episode. William Smith, stripped to the waist, has his arms pulled straight above his head and tied at the wrists to a rope looped over a tree branch. (Chuck Connors wound up in a similar position in the 10-2-61 episode of "The Rifleman.") (edit)
Linda Little Trees' wanted poster is shown when Captain Parmalee is assigning the Rangers their mission. The reward for her is $250. (edit)
This is Shelley Morrison's second appearance as licorice chewing outlaw Linda Little Trees. (edit)
