Takes place in the ruins of Atlanta, Georgia. The city has since been renamed "Lanta".
The "deputies" are pig-like mutants. This comes from an old derogatory slur against law enforcement officers as police are frequently referred to as "Pigs".
In this episode and the following episode "Prophecy of Peril", there is a slight change in the design and appearance of the Sun Sword. In these episodes, the "blade" bends slightly as Thundarr swings it and remains straight when he holds it still. In all other previous episodes, the Sun Sword remains straight regardless of Thundarr's actions.
Features a chase by corrupt law enforcement using police cars. This seems to have been inspired by certain movies and TV shows that were popular at the time of production such as "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Dukes of Hazzard".
