Ron Howard's father, Rance Howard, makes an uncredited appearance (and says a few words) in the parking lot of the opening act of this episode. He is seen hiding with Kimble and one other person as the police appear on scene.
With all QM TV show productions, guest stars of the shows are listed in the beginning. Even though Ron Howard had top billing with Andy Griffith on True Chivalry (1913), he was not named as a guest star on this episode & his name was only shown during the closing credits.
This is the second of three appearances Edward Binns makes in the series, each time appearing as a different character. The other two appearances occur in Glass Tightrope (1963) and Set Fire to a Straw Man (1965).
