Harold kept his sense of humor during his recovery!

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this, but Walt Disney actually saw this film. In 1930, he had Floyd Gottfredson put a story arc in the MICKEY MOUSE comic strip in which Mickey attempted suicide and it’s believed he was recalling this film when he requested it. In fact, the gag with Harold jumping off the bridge on to the boat was pretty much remade with Mickey as part of this arc.

He plagiarized STEAMBOAT BILL, JR. He plagiarized HAUNTED SPOOKS. Walt Disney was one heck of a plagiarist.
