- TriviaThis is the sixth and final appearance of Steve Ihnat. He died of a heart attach on May 12, 1972 at 37 years of age.
- GoofsJenny Pritchard owns a doll that is distinctly in the style of 'Raggedy Ann'. Given that most installments of 'Gunsmoke' are set in the 1870s, and the fact the first 'Raggedy Ann' doll dates to 1915, this is clearly an anachronism. Even when one considers the legend that Johnny Gruelle (creator of 'Raggedy Ann') was inspired by a faceless doll he found in his grandmother's attic, the fact that Gruelle designed the actual doll (e.g., distinctive face and general appearance) further supports this assertion.

Newly Gets Played Again
Once Newly (Buck Taylor) joined the cast, Miss Kitty got a break from being kidnapped, beaten, attacked, assaulted, or taken advantage of. Most of the time, it was Newly that became the victim. More prisoners escaped from Newly than had ever gotten away from Chester. Most of the time, it was because Newly felt sorry for them.
In this episode, Newly puts himself in the impossible situation of trying to make the daughter of a soon-to-be condemned killer happy. He also wants the killer to be happy. He also happens to be a deputy marshal with legal obligations to enforce the law. Like usual, Newly the liberal, emotional cripple ignores the law, prisoner/father, the prisoner escapes. So while Newly feels happy that he got the little girl and her killer Dad some happy time, the killer is on the loose.
The Judge strips Newly of his powers as a deputy and orders him to jail. Unfortunately for Gunsmoke, the Judge does not order Newly to be hanged. The show would have been a lot better without Newly. As often happens in the later episodes, there is very little of Matt Dillon, and we have to watch Newly slowly work things out at his pace.
