Trivia Edit

In an office scene near midway, Perry reads a newspaper, whose headline "Ranch Foremen Held In Beauty's Death," magically changes when he hands the paper to his client. See here. Submitted by Christopher Graul, 5/27/05.

+Dorris Packer makes her only appearance on Perry here playing Mrs. Campion. Dorris Packer was known as the principal, Mrs. Rayburn, of the grammar school that Beaver Cleaver attended. She was also the mother of Chatworth Osborne on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. Submitted by PaulDrake 33. 9 September 2009.

Location: This episode features the Burbank Airport about 5 minutes in and you can see the exterior of the terminal and parking lot. I confirmed this with Les Copeland, president, of the Burbank Aviation Museum. Burbank Airport is now called Bob Hope Airport and has a slightly different facade. It is also featured in episodes #39, 99 and #258. Posted by Eric Cooper 25 May 2010.
