Here's someone else's speculation about the production of this short -
"Perversely, there's no director credit and no cast list. The only name mentioned, apart from B. F. Goodrich, is the star, who's mentioned twice - and quite rightly so, for the star is Harry Langdon.... The fact that Columbia Pictures is mentioned briefly (Harry appears "by special arrangement" with them) would suggest that Columbia may have made this rarity and allowed Goodrich to release it as a promo film for their tyres. Although it's credited to Audio Productions Inc. - whoever they were - it certainly looks like a '35 Langdon Columbia; and his uncredited costar is Columbia regular Monte Collins. Who was the director? Collins? Langdon himself? (probably not at this period, but he may have written it.) Arthur Ripley? Harry Edwards? The smooth on-location photography... suggests Del Lord. Perhaps we'll never know."
