With Natasha working the short-wave radio, Boris suggests she use Morse code. "Samuel B. Morse?" she asks. Boris replies, "Samuel B., Ella Mae, I don't care."
Morse code was named after Samuel F. B. Morse (1791-1872), an American painter-turned-inventor who helped develop the early telegraph. Ella Mae Morse (1924-1999) was an American popular singer in the 1940s and '50s.

Rocky and Bullwinkle travel on a ship helmed by Captain Peter "Wrongway" Peachfuzz, a longtime friend who's shared in the duo's adventures since Season One of The Bullwinkle Show (1959). Yet there's no sense of familiarity between our heroes and Captain Peachfuzz. Captain Peachfuzz is never mentioned by name, and Rocky refers to him only as "the captain". (Captain Peachfuzz calls Rocky "sonny".)
On the island of Abalone, Rocky comments that he thinks he's heard Boris Badenov's voice before, to which Bullwinkle replies, "Wouldn't be H.V. Kaltenborn, would it?"
H.V. Kaltenborn (1878-1965) was a news reader and commentator on American radio from the late 1920s to the 1950s, first for CBS, then for NBC.
