Dick Merrill joked about his lousy performance in this movie for the rest of his life.
Both Dick Merrill and Jack Lambie received $2,500 for their roles in this movie. Dick, an inveterate gambler, blew his entire salary at Santa Anita the weekend after shooting wrapped.
Monogram Pictures chiefs Trem Carr and W. Ray Johnston had just reformed the studio after having had an unhappy merger for two years with Herbert J. Yates Republic Pictures. This film was conceived as a low-budget feature meant to capitalize on Dick Merrill's and Jack Lambie's historic "Coronation Flight", which made them world-famous.
