The only film of the series to feature Hopalong's brother Buddy Cassidy, played by William Janney, who retired from films after only one more film in 1937.

This is one of 54 Hopalong Cassidy features produced by Harry Sherman, initially distributed by Paramount Pictures from 1935-1941, and then by United Artists 1942-1944, which were purchased by their star William Boyd for nationally syndicated television presentation beginning in 1948 and continuing thereafter for many years, as a result of their phenomenal success. Each feature was re-edited to 54 minutes so as to comfortably fit into a 60 minute time slot, with six minutes for commercials. It was not until 50 years later that, with the cooperation of Mrs. Boyd. i.e. Grace Bradley, that they were finally restored to their original length with their original opening and closing credits intact.

The seventh of sixty-six Hopalong Cassidy movies.

Many of the plot elements are similar to "Destry Rides Again" 1939.

This film was initially telecast in Los Angeles Saturday 4 September 1948 on KTLA (Channel 5); it first aired in Atlanta Saturday 9 April 1949 on WSB (Channel 8).
