En route, their car breaks down and they are reluctantly given accommodations in the home of Judge Malcolm Parker.

Amid the confusion, the real killer takes Louise captive, but the boys track him down and unmask Simp.

Katzman also brought in Gorcey's younger brother David, and former Our Gang star and Vaudeville entertainer "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison.

Jack Edwards was originally slated to return as "Algernon Wilkes", but immediately declined after being offered a better paid part elsewhere.

New York City exteriors were done at the Roach Studio, with interiors done on a soundstage on Gower St next to Columbia.

In addition to Chester, Frankie Burke, Donald Haines, and Dave O'Brien all returned, and each reprised their role from the previous film.
