When the beat cop asks Stymie what Cotton looks like, he answers "He used to look like me; now looks like Ingagi." Ingagi was the title of an exploitation film made in 1930 which purported to show African women mating with apes. It naturally caused a huge uproar and was soon revealed to be hoax. Audiences, as well as Stymie, would have known the reference.
Although it was 1932 and sound pictures were in full swing, several Our Gang shorts had segments filmed silently, with sound added later. It was usually done when the kids needed verbal cues or the sound effect was too much for the early equipment. In this short, the scene of the lunch counter man running from Cotton was shot silent, with the effect of his crashing into furniture added post production.
The part Stymie's infant brother Cotton was played by Matthew Beard's real brother, Bobbie. Stymie's mother, Johnnie Mae, also appear in several shorts.
This short was heavily edited when it appeared on tv in the 1950s. It was withdrawn from the Little Rascals package in 1965 due to its racist content.
