Facts about
The gorilla was originally meant to be a female simian pursuing Costello. However, the Breen Office censors that enforced the Production Code in Hollywood demanded the gorilla's gender be changed as they felt a female gorilla's pursuit of a man would be on par with bestiality.
There is a scene where Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are talking in their tent and Joe Besser dashes into the tent, grabs a glass of water and dashes out again. He repeats this several times until Abbott stops him and asks why he's so thirsty. Besser replies that he's not thirsty, it's that his tent is on fire. That was based on an incident in Costello's childhood, when he accidentally set some clothes in his bedroom on fire. His father was in the living room, which was between the kitchen and Costello's bedroom. Costello, not wanting to let his father know that he had set his room on fire, dashed back and forth between the kitchen and his bedroom with glasses of water until his father finally asked what was going on, whereupon Costello was forced to tell what he had done.
Features the only on-screen pairing of Joe Besser and Shemp Howard, who were respectively considered the 4th and 5th members of The Three Stooges.
