This film is the first produced by Famous Studios the former Fleischer Studios animation studios then reorganized after the ouster of the Fleischer Brothers.
The title is a combination of the French word saboteur and the shortened form for one of the Axis Powers in World War II, the Japanese.
This is the final short in the Fleischer/Famous Studios Superman cartoon series to feature, "Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to soar higher than any plane!" as the descriptive lines about Superman abilities in the opening sequence.
