Short summary

Against Will's objections, Sonny rents the rig to a broker and almost loses it, and more, to a crew that broke in to an armory. To keep them in the dark and out of his way, the broker treats Will and Sonny to a few days at an exclusive resort.

Georgia on the mind: The show takes place in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Both Sonny Shroyer and Ben Jones would go on 4 years later to co-star in The Dukes of Hazzard (1979), which was also set in Georgia. While Shroyer, a Georgia native, played a criminal's henchman here, in Dukes he played the memorable Georgia Deputy Enos Straight. Speaking of future lawmen, Claude Akins would go on 3 years later to play a Georgia Sheriff in B.J. and the Bear (1978) and then reprise the role a year later in the spin-off The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo (1979).

Closing credit: "Some locations furnished by Pine Isle Stouffer's Resort Hotel" for locations. The resort opened on Lake Lanier in 1974.

May-December girlfriend: E.J. Peaker was 18 years younger than Claude Akins.

Final appearances of occasional co-stars Roosevelt Grier and Art Metrano, as their rig the "Pig Pen" is blown up.
