This is one of 54 Hopalong Cassidy features produced by Harry Sherman, initially distributed by Paramount Pictures from 1935-1941, and then by United Artists 1942-1944, which were purchased by their star William Boyd for nationally syndicated television presentation beginning in 1948 and continuing thereafter for many years, as a result of their phenomenal success. Each feature was re-edited to 54 minutes so as to comfortably fit into a 60 minute time slot, with six minutes for commercials. It was not until 50 years later that, with the cooperation of Mrs. Boyd. i.e. Grace Bradley, that they were finally restored to their original length with their original opening and closing credits intact.
The forty-ninth of sixty-six Hopalong Cassidy movies.
The Jimmy Rogers in this Hoppy was the son of the famous cowboy entertainer Will Rogers and was not the more famous one known as "the Singing Breakman" or the Western/pop singer popular in the 1950s and 1960s who sang the smash hit, "Honeycomb". This was his first Hoppy film replacing the departed Jay Kirby. He would make five more Hoppys and like the other two Jimmy Rogers, he was a Western/Country singer.
