Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Early in the episode, Von Brock tells Harley that he is in Washington for the singular purpose of killing him with his bare hands and has, in fact, been strengthening his hands for just such an opportunity. In the climactic scene, it's pretty apparent that Von Brock plans to kill him with a knife. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- This ep also appears in The Pill Caper, so it has pretty much survived. Henry Brandon was a Hollywood fixture for decades. His earliest film role was as the evil Silas Barnaby in the Laurel & Hardy version of Babes In Toyland. At a 1986 convention of L&H buffs he talked about his appearance on Mr. Terrific, remembering how he drove the CBS legal department crazy. As the knife throwing Von Brock he had Paul Smith strapped to a large circus wheel and happily adlibbed a German folk song he'd learned as a child. Director Arnold loved it, but the lawyers went nuts trying to find out who wrote the song and who owned the rights. Edit
