    • Trivia
      As in the case of many other Republic titles, this film was "re-edited" down to 52 minutes for television broadcast, and also re-titled "Unforgotten Crime;" with so much footage now missing from presently available prints, much of the story has become incomprehensible. Hopefully, a complete version still exists out there, somewhere.
    • Alternate versions
      Released as "Unforgotten Crime" for TV consumption and edited down from 71 to 54 minutes.
    • Connections
      Followed by Secrets of the Underground (1942)
