      • German episode title: "Die Höllenmaschine", meaning "The Infernal Machine". Edit
      • Willard Waterman appears as Mr. Throckmorton; possibly a subtle nod to the fact that Mr. Waterman stepped into the role of Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve aka "The Great Gildersleeve," after Hal Peary. Edit
      • Pernell Roberts does not appear in this episode. Edit
