[2] It is one of a group of shorts of strikingly uneven quality produced by Disney immediately after Ub Iwerks left the studio.

[3] The cartoon was primarily drawn by Norm Ferguson,[4] and featured a pair of bloodhounds, who helped to track down Mickey after his prison escape.

Although these dogs were not named, the style in which they were drawn makes them clear forerunners of Pluto, who first officially appeared a few months later in The Picnic.

One of the inmates dances to the tune of Felix Mendelssohn's "Spring Song", but when he spits on the guard, Pete wakes up and whistles for help.

In a scene animated by Norm Ferguson, Mickey is chased by two bloodhounds after his prison break, and we see each hound approach and sniff, then bark directly into the camera.

According to Gijs Grob in Mickey's Movies: "These hounds are possibly the most elaborately designed and most naturally behaving animals in any theatrical cartoon hitherto, and would become the prototype of Pluto".
