Episode Summary

Add/Edit

An elderly couple, desperate to draw attention to the poor living conditions in their old folks home, rig the trunk of their car with fifty sticks of dynamite and a timer and plan to set it off outside City Hall. But the car is stolen by two thugs on a spree of armed liquor store robberies, unaware that the car is loaded with explosives ticking towards detonation in the trunk. Starsky and Hutch initially are on the hunt for the two robbers but when they learn that the car is rigged with dynamite, they have mere hours to track it down before disaster strikes.

Huggy Bear is seen owning a bar, 'Huggy Bear's'. He runs it until "The Hostages" later in this season, in which he gives up the bar biz. He takes up a number of odd jobs until the third season episode "The Collector", when he opens up another establishment, 'The Pits'. [edit]
The price of the paint job for the car was $20 when agreed on. When it was done the bad guy said it was worth the $30. [edit]
When Starsky pulls out his handcuffs to cuff Wilber Sloan, a bunch of papers fall out of his back pocket (though this could be debated as intentional, as Starsky was in a hurry to cuff him). [edit]

Although not an official alternative title, occasionaly this episode's title is confused with the 1976 terrorist thriller, Black Sunday. [edit]
The closing credits of this episode use an edit of the season's opening theme tune, the only episode to do as such - all other episodes in the season have the season's regular closing theme. [edit]
Bobbie Mitchell makes her first of several appearances in the series as Diane Sills, a waitress at Huggy Bear's bar, but is uncredited on-screen for this episode as she is for several of her appearances in the series. [edit]
