Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn real life, Stabila's yacht was the Zopilote, a 48-foot Pacemaker Sportsfisherman which had been extended by two feet and equipped with a whopping US$85,000 in electronics (in 2016 dollars). Zopilote belonged to director and one-time race driver Bruce Kessler, who directed this episode. The yacht is extensively profiled in a five-page article in the November 1976 issue of Motor Boating & Sailing magazine. By 1985, Kessler had replaced his Pacemaker with the identically-named Zopilote, a 70-foot Delta Marine yacht in which he and his wife Joan Freeman circumnavigated the globe. After the second Zopilote foundered off the coast of Alaska in May 1993, Kessler tipped his hat at his earlier yachts with the 64-foot Spirit of Zopilote, the first yacht launched by Northern Marine.
- GoofsRockford writes down the license number of a car leaving Stabila's house as 436 LJN, but the license appears to be 874 MET. Also, you can see the previous page in his notebook seems to have the license number written down already.

Featured review
Ned Beatty, Unkown Star(?)
This was four years AFTER "Deliverance"! (1976 and 1972, respectively.)
This is one of the very best RF episodes ever. Once again, we see Jimmy get close to the big payoff - no spoilers here!
I'm flabbergasted that Mr. Beatty was doing TV after the iconic "Deliverance", but I did read that that film was not recognized as the masterpiece that it was in its time of release. Sad. Also, if you are a fan of "Deliverance", please look at "Banjo Boy's" Go-Fund-Me, the poor b*st*rd has been working at Walmart since the greedy tribe members who produced the film did not feel it necessary to fairly compensate him for his work.
