The highest grossing film of 1918, with a worldwide gross of $8 million on a budget of $250,000.
During the filming, Mabel Normand was in very bad mental health. A year earlier she, who at that time was engaged to producer Mack Sennett, discovered that he had an affair with Mae Busch. During a confrontation, Busch threw a vase at Mabel and hit her in the head and seriously injured her; an operation saved her life. She never fully recovered. Her friend and colleague Minta Durfee supported her.
This was the only movie produced by the Mabel Normand Feature Film Company.
Because of a misidentified still from Molly O' (1921) credited to this film on page 162 of Daniel Blum's "Pictorial History of the Silent Screen", Jack Mulhall is sometimes erroneously listed among the cast members, when in fact, he never appeared in this film.
According to dates appearing on various telegrams, and references of time passing via title cards, the action of this film takes place between mid-June and early September 1917.
