Facts about

Harry Woolman as "Motorcycle Rider" and Walter Baldwin as "Bates" are in studio records/casting call lists, but they did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie.
Writing in the Saturday Evening Post in 1949, Bud Abbott said this was his favorite film role, because for a change he was the butt of all the punishment, instead of Lou Costello.

The cast and crew frantically worked around him for the next two weeks, when Costello slipped back onto the set and completed the film. He never apologized or explained his behavior.
