Memorable quotes
Museum watchman: It was most remarkable the day that picture was stolen. I saw it hanging there like that, then the next time I looked, it was gone just like that. OH NO! NOT AGAIN!

Behind the scenes
- This episode is one of the rare occasions where the real criminal(s) actually get away with their crimes.
- A similar thing happened in the Snooper and Blabber short "Puss n' Booty," where the actual criminals tricked Snooper and Blabber into believing the fake Aloysius was the real one and then started shooting after the two.
Errors
- For some reason, every time Silky is in the crooks' car, his trench coat is colored brown instead of white, only is his trench coat colored correctly when he's not in the car.
- If Hokey is shown to read newspapers in previous and later shorts, then wouldn't he find the article on the Moanin' Liza being stolen from the beginning?
