Goofs
When the large black car pulls up and the driver asks Pa for a cabin for the three, a large group of the production crew is visible in reflection in the side of the car.

Crazy credits
Opening credits are shown over the words "It's Later than you Think", in the center of a ring of stones, numbered to look like a clock.

Entertaining curio

Tight, entertaining curio if you accept the coincidence-based premise. Kind of a low-rent "Petrified Forest" that wraps everything up in about 90 seconds with relentlessly upbeat resolutions. Strong character ensemble includes an oddly off-center turn by a very young Gale Storm that avoids the pert, cute qualities of her "My Little Margie." Billie Seward (as Gladys, not a character named Gale Storm as IMDB lists it) registers strongly. I had never seen her before.
