In the sequence when Gilligan tries to barricade himself from the lion inside Mr and Mrs Howell's hut: According to Denver, Zamba the lion made a run at him, but the beast's trainer Ralph Helfer was able to tackle him in mid-air, thus sparing Bob from being mauled (during the scene the shadow of the animal trainer is seen on the right side of the screen while Gilligan is barricading the hut).
Bob Denver and Zamba have previously worked together in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" (1959) {What's My Lion?}. This is their second time working together.
Ginger, Mary Ann, and Mrs. Howell are sitting together while the men are out looking for the lion. Mrs. Howell discovers the lion when she sees him while she has been looking at her mirror. Then a stunt double appears for Mrs. Howell. Natalie Schaefer reappears when running into her hut, and then she is shown about to sneeze. Then it's back to the stunt double again who is shown climbing out the window.
