When Curly Howard says "FBI loan," he means an FHA (Federal Housing Administration) insured loan, a program instituted during the "New Deal" of the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. When he describes taking the child's piggy bank as "only a lend-lease," he is referring to 1941's Lend-Lease Law, which was a program to help supply Great Britain with war supplies during its war with Nazi Germany.
The "Press, Press, Pull" gag was previously used in Three Little Beers. (1935).
Debut of actress Sharyn Moffett.
