An Intimate Glimpse Into the Life of the American Peanut," originally was "Pschopathia-Sexualis," but was changed at the request of the Hays office. Other changes requested included the studio being warned to eliminate or alter several scenes and lines of dialogue: for example, "the action of Dulcy whispering in the waiter's ear suggests inescapably a toilet gag", and Dulcy's line, "He forced it from my most intimate parts."
