A large sequence at the beginning of the episode was removed. Devon and April are surprised by the arrival of Devon's old friend Charlie Granger, who tells them of his treasure and plans to surprise his daughter Katherine for her 21st birthday.
This is the first episode in which K.I.T.T. uses turbo-boost in reverse.
Earlier drafts saw the show end quite differently. Originally the cavern didn't collapse around Michael and Katherine, and the sequence ended happily with her realization that she really was loved by her father.
Daphne Lee Ashbrook co-starred with Lance LeGault again later in the 1983-'84 season in the Road Games episode of The A-Team.
