Anecdotes
The main credits are spoken by twin sisters Betty Mae Crane and Beverly Crane wearing theater usher uniforms. As an alternative to standard titles, in a short-lived experiment, they performed the "talking titles" for several Hal Roach productions in 1930 and 1931. This is the only Laurel & Hardy film with spoken credits. The girls were paid $15 ($279 in 2024) each for their efforts.

Gaffes
Lady Plumtree refers to her husband variously as "Leopold," "Ambrose," and "Leopold Ambrose" due to two different versions of the script.

Citations
Ollie: Agnes, call me a cab.

Versions alternatives
The original UK VHS edition of this film (released on the Virgin/VVL label in 1991) omits 16 seconds in the scene where Hardy is looking for his billiard room. He opens the door and escorts Plumtree into a room and says "Now what did I do with that billiard room?" The scene runs from 18:32-18:48 on the UK DVD. The scene is restored in its entirety in the DVD edition.

Funniness

L & H are on the run from the law. They are so broke they spent the night sleeping on a park bench. A nearby was not impressed with Stan after he addresses him as 'Ma'am'. They take refuge from the chase in the basement of Colonel Wilburforce Buckshot, who has just left to go on vacation to South Africa.

While hiding they pretend to be the owner and maid (Stan in his guise as Agnes) of the house when a new married couple (Lord Plumtree and his gorgeous wife) come around to rent the place. Obviously the usual hijinks and misunderstandings follow but the comic timing and Stan's indulgence in his Agnes disguise make it a half-hour laugh riot.
