Trivia
• Copyrighted February 10, 1930.
• This was the 97th film in the series to be released.
• Also filmed in Spanish as "Las fantasmas".
• This was the second film made by Hal Roach to have the same title. Snub Pollard starred in When The Wind Blows, a 1920 silent short film.
• It was previously thought that the role of Jackie's mother was played by Rosemary Theby, but this has been corrected by Robert Demoss/The Lucky Corner website as being Caroline Cooke.
• It was previously thought that the role of Farina's mother was played by Emma Reed, but this has been corrected by Robert Demoss/The Lucky Corner website as being Gertrude Howard.
• In one scene they wanted it to appear that Edgar Kennedy was pointing his gun to the left side, where the action was coming from, and so inserted the shot in backwards. Note the signs, his inverted badge, and his gun in his left hand.
