This film was made just days after Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy had finished filming "Les Forçats du pinceau (1927)," in which they play shaven-headed convicts. Thus, the reason for the boys' buzz-cut hairdos in this film.
This is actually a Max Davidson comedy with The Boys as guest stars. Their appearance with shaved heads shows that it was made directly after their film The Second Hundred Years.
Also in the film are The Boys regular co stars james Finlayson and Charley Chase,
