Trivia
The plane used at the end is a Cessna 182K, #N2670Q. It was written off (damaged beyond repair) in an accident in Van Nuys, CA on 18 Feb 1978. There were not any fatalities.

Goofs
At about the 46 minute mark it could be seen that the prop had completely stopped on the plane, but the engine sound could still be heard. Then moments later the prop was running again.

Quotes
Frank Cannon: I'll admit it may be a strong case. But it also may be a wrong case.

Pretty good--about average for season one.

A small-time crook has earned the privilege for a special sort of work-release program. He leaves prison each day to attend classes at a nearby college and returns at night. However, instead of this being a perk, it's actually a serious problem as a gang leader in prison demands that the young man work for him as a courier. But the young man wants to go straight and make something of himself. What is he to do? Well, fortunately, when Cannon gets involved in the case, there is a chance that he can make a go of it on the outside.

Overall, this is a very average episode of "Cannon"--neither bad nor outstanding. This is not a complaint--just an observation. Decent writing and acting--there just isn't a lot to make this one stand out much either way. Worth seeing if you are already a fan of the series.
