- TriviaIn this 2-part fictionalized story of an escape attempt of Al Capone from the train transporting him to Alcatraz in 1934, the script writer took the liberty to include a historic character in a minor but noticeable role. The mob hires a charter air service to fly Capone to Mexico after the escape. The pilot/proprietor of the 'Lone Eagle Flying Service' is named Fred Noonan, played by Eddie Firestone. Fred Noonan was the pilot and navigator who served as Amelia Earhart's navigator on her famous round-the-world last flight in 1937.
- GoofsThe Mayberry hotel can be seen very well on here.

Featured review
The Mission set free Al Capone avoid Alcatraz and disappears toward Italy-part two!!!!
In this second part of previous episode Al Capone imprisoned at Atlanta meanwhile Alcatraz already is able to received the most dangerous American criminals, when the train left Atlanta prison toward into Alcatraz, Capone's crew at Chicago have enough time to settle a plan to rescue Capone along the way, nonetheless Eliot Ness's crew aware that somewhere the gang will try stop the train to pick up the famous mobster, but they work half blind.
Suddenly appears a hint how the Capone's gang will reach at train's route, the joined money for Capone lives at Italy will be sending by plane, however the matter is finds out where the rendezvous should be, according the pilot the meeting point is unknown, just the range of the flying was given to him around 710 miles, thus Eliot Ness figures out that the trading place must be at smallest town Cloverville on California territory at junction train tracks, Capone's gang is still there pretending be US's officers, the local Sheriff was a easily target to they take over the town and the Railroad station and train arrival at Cloverville will be 11.42 exactly schedule time.
Aware that Eliot Ness enforces a task force get into the village meanwhile he and they fellow mates arrive by plane as phony Chicago's thugs as delivers men of suitcase full of money, here sadly the writers committed a dreadful mistake due the own Ness is largely known cross-country in America, whoever placed Ness among most trustworthy Al Capone's gang as Eric Holvig (James Westerfield) that clearly knows Eliot Ness's face, fairly noticed by the audience, such weird thing spoils a little a good episode.
Thanks for reading.
