Tropes associated with this episode:

  • Big Ball of Violence: The epic struggle between Joe and Callahan, wherein they literally almost kill each other while destroying every business on Okaloosa City’s Main Street. Much of the fighting is heard offscreen while the townsfolk gather round to watch.
  • Bull Seeing Red: Callahan's girlfriend, Angela, does this several times throughout the episode. Whenever she sees red, her eyes pop out wide and she rams whatever the unfortunate object is. This is how she (unknowingly) helps Joe give Dusty his comeuppance in the end.
  • Friendship Moment: Sealed between Joe and Callahan when they give Dusty his comeuppance. As this was the first time that Michael Landon and Victor French worked this closely together, also true in real life.
  • Pro Wrestling Episode: Although this episode was more focused on professional wrestler Callahan trying to prove Dusty's innocence.
  • Tranquil Fury: The moment Joe realizes that his trip to Okaloosa City (to find Callahan) was totally unnecessary as Dusty explains that he had been bailed out of jail a week ago, and now his troubles had landed him (along with Callahan and Angela) in jail needing to be bailed out.
