The first Woody Woodpecker "cartune" to feature the new, more appealing Woody re-design by Emery Hawkins and Arthur Heinemann. This design removed the buck teeth, receding chin and stubby legs of the original Alex Lovy design from Pica-Pau Ataca Novamente (1940), and simplified Woody's color scheme.
The title refers to the opera "The Barber of Seville, or The Useless Precaution", an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto by Cesare Sterbini. The première took place on 20 February 1816 at the Teatro Argentina, Rome.
