Plot: Coogan, an Arizona cop, is sent to New York to collect a prisoner. Everyone in New York assumes Coogan is from Texas, much to his annoyance. To add to Coogans problems the prisoner isnt ready, so he decides to cut a few corners. In the process the prisoner escapes, and Coogan is ordered home. Too proud to return home empty handed, Coogan sets out into the big city to recapture his prisoner.

Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
During the opening credits sequence of many early episodes, scenes from that episode are shown underneath a closeup of Robert Culps eyes. If you look closely, Culps facial expressions (concerned, happy, etc.) almost always match the action happening on the screen. Later in the series, a standard set of action/romance/humor scenes was used.

Goofs: We know about 3 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Continuity: Near the start of the film, when Coogan first meets Julie he has a cigarette held firmly in his mouth. In the next shot, the cigarette disappears.

Trivia: There are 5 entries in the trivia list – like these:
