    • Trivia
      This is one of four of The Three Stooges shorts that ended up falling into the public domain, the other three being Brideless Groom (1947), Sing a Song of Six Pants (1947), and Disorder in the Court (1936). Because of that, these four shorts frequently appear on very cheaply processed VHS and DVD compilations (with scenes edited out that displayed the TV station logos that the short had been recorded from).
    • Goofs
      After the table gets knocked over, a finger can briefly be seen under the leg of the table, poking at the cat to get it to leave the shot.

      Larry: All we got left are rabbit and hot dogs.

      Hassan Ben Soba: Rabbit.

      Ginna Rumma: Hot dogs.

      Larry: Hot dog, they'll take rabbit.

    "I've had a few to many myself."
    Lines like the above, shot back by Shemp after having been introduced to Hassan Ben Soba, are classic. The parts with the cat and dog? Just plain funny. Sight gags, puns, and slap stick comedy. Why else watch the Three Stooges? Everette Brown, as the Nubian guard, was cool. He had a very nice, long lasting career even if most of it was uncredited. This particular Stooges short stands out a little for me because it lacks one thing that most of their films have plenty of ... Girls. I say plenty of girls. Most of them had at least three so that the Stooges could take a moment to pair off in romantic silliness. But all is not lost. This things worth the money regardless. Say, at least Affa Dolla.
