Trivia
This story has connections to two real life events. Redding's father is modelled after Julius Rosenberg, who, along with his wife Ethel, was convicted and executed for delivering atomic secrets to the U.S.S.R (it is not stated who Redding is working for, but it's not Russia). The other instance involves the casting of John Randolph as Alex Morley. Randolph had been one of the many actors blacklisted for refusing to "name names" during the HUAC investigations and one of the last actors to be removed from the blacklist; in this episode, he plays a Communist agent plotting to bomb New York City.

Goofs
When Barney is using the transmitter to make the fake broadcast, the plate current and antenna meter pointers do not move from the zero indication. This would mean no transmission is being made.

Quotes
[last lines]
James Phelps: And while you're sitting in your cell waiting to die, I want you to think about something. If your father really was innocent, who would have been more likely to wanna frame him? The United States government or his best friend, who also happened to be an enemy agent... even then.

Weak

I am so surprised at reviews all over, as to this being one of the best.

It isn't . I've seen most episodes four times each.

I like Zerbe, of course, but this one does not have much going for it.

The way they trick him, Is similar to others, and there is no real dialog from him, at the end.
