When German broadcaster ZDF bought Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir (1961) for the German market, they chose to exclude certain episodes. To capitalize on the success of the TV show, a different company edited two of those episodes, The £50,000 Breakfast (1967) and Murdersville (1967), together to form this movie. Since its release, the film has not been shown again and, as of 2020, is deemed lost.
