Production

Monogram bought the story from Vida Hurst in March 1934.[3]

In March 1935 it was announced the film would be supervised by Mrs Wallace Reid.[4] She had already produced Women Must Dress and Redhead for Monogram.[5]

Neil Hamilton appeared in the film under a two picture contract he signed with Trem Carr, head of Monogram. The other he did under contract was Keeper of the Bees.[6]

It was the third film Lubin directed for Monogram.[7] The Los Angeles Times said Lubin "had directed very successfully one or two other pictures which causes the belief that this feature will be especially bright lighted."[8]

Filming took place in March 1935.[9] The cast included several stars from the silent era such as Helene Costello, Neil Hamilton and Lloyd Hughes.[10]
