Special Guest Star
The Special Guest Star for this episode is William Shatner. As the opening credits roll, Shatner is seen seated at a restaurant table when machine gun fire suddenly begins to riddle the area around him. Shatner pulls out a gun and fires back, evidently killing his attacker, and surviving the shooting, a rarity for Police Squad! guest stars. However, his survival lasts only seconds, as the congratulatory drink he then consumes is obviously poisoned. He begins gagging and choking, thus meeting his demise in the manner of all Police Squad! special guest stars.

Famous quotes containing the words special, guest and/or star:
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temper’d Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betray’d.
Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatch’d a Cherubin.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.”
—Ned Washington (190l–1976)
