The film stars Bobby Breen, Leo Carrillo, Lee Patrick, and Slicker, "the silly seal".

Produced by Sol Lesser for RKO Radio Pictures, who also distributed the film, it was released on February 3, 1939.

Along with a pet seal, Julius, the father and son live with one of Carlo's business partners, Beppo, and a housekeeper, Angelina.

Stella, not being satisfied with the money being made from Carlo's fishing enterprise, convinces him to demote his three partners to simple employees.

An August 1938 news item let the public know that Breen was attached to the picture, which went on to state that production would begin on September 15 of that year.

In attendance were the three stars, Bobby Breen, Leo Carillo, and Henry Armetta, along with Sol Lesser.

[11] Harrison's Reports called the picture a "pleasant mixture of comedy and drama, with deep human appeal."
