Trivia
This episode is the last time that the Knight Industries truck is seen with a white trailer. It is next seen in a few episodes time, in "Hearts of Stone" with its familiar black design with gold Knight chess piece logo, that would remain for the rest of the show's run.

Goofs
Michael Knight is really Michael Long, who is supposed to be dead. Yet his friend Cheryl Burns phoned him from jail to ask if he could help her out, and apparently reached him easily, despite all of this being a big covert operation. Also, Michael Long underwent plastic surgery. He has a new face. In jail, Cheryl reacts to the new Michael Knight as if nothing's changed.

The Final Verdict

It is nerd time, always a popular staple of 1970s & 1980s US television shows.

Michael Knight helps out an old lady friend accused of murdering her boss. Her alibi lies with a nerdy accountant named Marty Kean who was at a bar with her.

However Marty is in trouble, he is laundering money for his crooked boss, the police are circling on him. Michael needs to help Marty out from his boss's goon and keep him alive to help his friend out.

The episode has some good car stunts, a nicely shot chase sequence and another helping of a cheesy but fun story.
