Several people are in studio records/casting call lists as cast members, but they did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Carl Stockdale (Ab), Lew Kelly (John) and Paul E. Burns (Hank).
Jane Withers admired Gene Autry and asked her studio if she could appear in a movie with him. Withers was under contract to 20th Century Fox, and would not be allowed to work on a Republic picture. She was able to convince the studio to work out a deal so she could appear with Gene Autry, and this movie was the result.
This is one of the few movies that Gene Autry appeared in that his character wasn't named "Gene Autry".
This was the first movie Gene Autry made in which his character name was not Gene.
The original script had Autry kissing Marjorie Weaver at the end, but that ending was dropped when his fans objected.
