Wissenswertes
The plot is borrowed from two popular films and a musical of the period. The idea of a stolen railroad car is a parody of "A Streetcar Named Desire", while the imaginary animal friend parodies the film "Harvey" (Victoria Horne had starred in the latter). The theme of a woman's unwillingness to marry until her sister can be found a willing husband-to-be alludes to "Kiss Me, Kate", a Cole Porter musical.

Patzer
When Detective Moe gets out of the car and starts walking towards the stolen railroad car, he is supposed to be outside walking on dirt, but the sound he makes while walking is that of a wooden soundstage floor.

Zitate
Shemp: Oh...I'm shot! Or I'm half shot, I wanna be shot...Oh, I guess I'll have a shot.

Review

I must be one of the few people that likes this short. I guess you have to understand what The Stooges are making fun of here. This film makes fun of A Streetcar Named Desire, hence the reason Larry is trying imitate Marlon Brando and the torn T-Shirt, and Harvey, which explains Shemp seeing and animal no one else can see and Shemp imitating James Stewart when he is talking to the canary. Coincidently, Victoria Horne who plays Roberta in this film appeared in Harvey. My favorite gag is when Larry tells Moe, "If you don't want to lose Roberta, you'd better play ball with me." I guess this is 50's slag for You better Listen to me. Then after that, Moe whips out a ball and he and Larry toss it at each other. Although there are better shorts, this one is ok.
