Production

Filming

Three directors were credited, including George Gordon, Carl Urbano, and Rudy Zamora. Since Hanna-Barbera were partial to group crediting for their Saturday morning cartoon's entire season, it's unknown if all four of them directed the episode.

Music

The music is composed by Hoyt Curtin.

Behind the scenes

• The episode title is a play on "Westward ho!"

Errors

• The animators can't decide if Diamond Sal is an attractive middle-aged woman, an old, haggard woman, or a beautiful, young woman.
