This is the second of three appearances the very prolific character actor
Strother Martin makes in the series, each time playing the role of neighbor farmer Lem Boots. He is perhaps best remembered, certainly to audiences in the 1960s, for his role as the prison warden in the movie
Cool Hand Luke (1967). His other two appearances in this series occur in
The Marauder (1956) and
The Nest (1957).
