This film was the last ever made by Roscoe Arbuckle, though not the last of his pictures to be released in theatres. He had acted in this and other short films for Vitaphone in hopes of reviving his movie career, which was derailed by scandal in the early 1920s. His final day of work on the picture, shot in Brooklyn, New York, was June 28, 1933. That evening, he went to a party with his wife at a popular Manhattan restaurant to celebrate his anniversary. In the early hours of the following morning, Arbuckle died in his sleep of a heart attack. He was 46. This film was released posthumously in November of that year.
During the opening and closing titles for this short, Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle is literally the only performer credited: none of the other cast members are listed, even character actor Lionel Stander, who portrays the sort of comical thug he would be portraying for the rest of his long career, and Shemp Howard, previously (having left the act the year before) and later (rejoining in 1945) famous as one of The Three Stooges.
The director of this film is Ray McCarey, younger brother of legendary director Leo McCarey, who made such comedy classics as Duck Soup (1933) and The Awful Truth (1937).
There is no screenplay credit for this film, only a screen story credit given to Jack Henley. This fact suggests either that someone involved with the production wrote a shooting script without credit, or that the dialogue was mostly just improvised.
