At the climax, end of Act IV, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.'s FBI inspector character has been saved from suffocating to death by near total immersion in the swamp's oatmeal-textured quicksand by quick-thinking guest star Katherine Justice who grabs convict husband Tom Skerritt's Winchester rifle and extends it to him and pulls him out.
The epilogue show's Zimbalist -- moments later -- in cleaned and pressed pants, shirt and jacket ! -- while poor Justice's multiple facial wounds from her husband's spontaneous, brutal beating are being cleaned and tended to. Complete, careless inconsistency.
