Curly Howard had suffered a series of strokes in 1945 that forced him to leave the team. His cameo (as the man asleep on the train - with long hair and a clothespin on his nose) was intended by brother Moe Howard as a morale booster, but Curly never made another movie.
In one scene, The Three Stooges are sitting in front of a lion. If looked at closely, it can be noticed that there is a glare behind them. There was a sheet of glass put up between them and the lion for the scene's shooting. Even though the lion was old, docile, and tame, Shemp Howard panicked and refused to do the scene. As a result, the glass was put up to separate them from the lion.
The only short of The Three Stooges to feature all three Howard brothers - Moe Howard, Curly Howard and Shemp Howard - together. However, they did appear in the 1930 Ted Healy Stooge movie, Soup to Nuts.
This was the 100th short The Three Stooges made with Columbia.
