This is the second of three times that this episode script by series creators
Michael Berk and
Douglas Schwartz was reused. The original script was used in the 1983 TV series
Manimal (1983), in the episode
Female of the Species (1983); it was later re-used again in the 1994 TV series
Thunder in Paradise (1994), in the episode
Endangered Species (1994). In each episode, the hero helps a girl or boy who was raised by wolves. At the end of the episode, the wolf girl/boy is rescued by the hero after being locked in a trunk and thrown into the ocean by the person who killed his/her parents. In each case, the script was rewritten, but some scenes from the original "Manimal" script were used word for word in the other two episodes.
