Behind the scenes

• Buckwheat and Porky pose as a tall guy riding a bicycle to hide Pete. This gag was recycled from several 1930s theatrical shorts (including "Teacher's Beau" and "Two Too Young") and the cartoon episode "Yachtsa' Luck", and later used in the bank scene in the 1994 feature length film The Little Rascals.

Errors

• At one point, after Buckwheat and Porky fly from their bicycle after hitting a bump, the boys are clinging onto the beam of a street light. Wouldn't that cause them to get electrocuted?
