This episode was the pilot for a potential spin-off series titled "All That Glitters".
Two years after this episode was produced, Charles Taylor won his own series as unofficial Department of Justice agent David Dalton, the little-known first Knight Rider spin-off Code of Vengeance.
The last episode produced for the second season, this show is well-known due to its apparent lack of Michael and K.I.T.T. Here they are relegated to the background chasing missiles across the country; the real story is Dalton's, giving David Hasselhoff time away to prepare for his wedding to actress Catherine Hickland, who would also appear in the next episode to air: LET IT BE ME.
This two hour TV movie is split up into two parts for syndication.
The fourth Knight Rider novel, The 24-Carat Assassin, was based on this episode.
