Although the film's credits say it was produced and released by Weldon Pictures, it was in fact filmed and distributed by Columbia. Weldon Pictures was a dummy company set up by Columbia, which didn't want to be associated with the film's topic, syphilis. Producer Nat Cohn was the brother of Columbia's head, Harry Cohn.

This is one of several films that can be traced back to Eugene Brieux's play "Les Avariés" (translation: "The Damaged") and Upton Sinclair's novelization of that play entitled "Damaged Goods." Some of the common plot elements among these films are a protagonist who is engaged to be married and who contracts a venereal disease from a prostitute shortly before his wedding (often during a night of debauchery urged on by his work colleagues or his closest friends), the protagonist confiding in his best friend about the disease and then discussing it with a physician, attempts to medically treat the disease, a sexual affair between the protagonist and his best friend's wife or girlfriend, and the impacts of all of this on the protagonist's engagement and marriage.
This film and Damaged Goods (1937) were released on a double feature BluRay, a co-production Kino Classics and Something Weird Video. Both films are exploitation productions dealing with the effect of venereal disease (and the social stigma associated with it) on marriage and parenthood among the upper-middle-class of the United States. Both films follow roughly the same story line, although only the latter film credits the Eugene Breaux play as a source.
