The gag with The Three Stooges dressed up in Santa Claus outfits in order to get into the palace would be used again, eleven years later (with Shemp Howard replacing Curly Howard), in their short Malice in the Palace (1949), which uses the same footage of the Stooges riding up to the gate.
The name of the Middle East country, "Simmits," is a pun on "tsimmis," a Yiddish slang term for "a big fuss."
When told they have to rescue the kidnapped captain, Curly says "Bet you a buck we bring him back alive." This is a reference to safari hunter Frank Buck and his popular "Bring 'Em Back Alive" series, featuring Buck traveling to Africa to trap wild animals and bring them back to the United States for exhibition.
Production number 404.
