Although the film's credits say it was produced and released by Weldon Pictures, it was actually filmed and distributed by Columbia. Weldon Pictures was a dummy company set up by Columbia, which didn't want to be associated with the film's topic, syphilis. Producer Nat Cohn was the brother of Columbia's head, Harry Cohn.
Another film, Damaged Goods, dealing with the same subject, venereal disease, was released a week after this one.
Shot in eight days.
This was the first sound film to be directed by Edgar G. Ulmer.
