While filming the scene where the bazooka of soot backfires in Moe Howard's face, the special effects man put too much pressure on it and when it backfired, Moe got some large chunks of soot lodged underneath his eyelids, and it took several hours to clean them out. Moe suffered a similar injury in 1939's "Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise" when he got what resembled oil shot under his eyelids.
The title word Troubledoer is a play on the word troubadour, one of a class of lyric poets and poet-musicians often of knightly rank who flourished from the 11th to the end of the 13th century chiefly in the south of France and the north of Italy and whose major theme was courtly love.
The Stooges' secret weapon is a stovepipe loaded with gunpowder. This appearance of this type of weapon would have been very familiar to a movie audience in 1946 because the US military developed and used the "Bazooka" anti-tank weapon in World War II, which ended the previous year. The Bazooka was very similar in appearance to the Stooges' secret weapon.
