It was directed by David Butler to a script by William M. Conselman, Owen Davis, and Jack Moffitt.

The film stars Will Rogers as Hank Martin, an American accidental time traveler who finds himself in Camelot back in the days of King Arthur (William Farnum, a Fox star for many years).

[3] Radio salesman Hank Martin (Will Rogers), after being knocked out by a toppled suit of armor, travels back in time to Camelot where he is welcomed by King Arthur (William Farnum) and must use his modern knowledge to stop Morgana Le Fay (Myrna Loy) and Merlin (Brandon Hurst) from taking over.

Fox was likely inspired to produce A Connecticut Yankee based on the success of the 1921 silent film.

[4] Although the film was released in black and white, director David Butler used progressively darker shades of pink tint to emphasize a scene in which Morgana Le Fay flirts with Hank Martin.
