    • Trivia
      While this was the first episode of Man In A Suitcase to be broadcast in America, it was not the first filmed. It was shown first because the ABC network believed this episode had more thrills and excitement. The series' actual first episode, "Man from the Dead," was shown as number 6 (pun intended).
