Did you know

The first film Bebe Daniels produced for Hal Roach.

One of the shorter "streamliner" features from Hal Roach Studios intended to be the second part of a double feature. The studio also edited this with Curley (1947), another "streamliner" to make a full length feature - The Hal Roach Comedy Carnival (1947). Roach could thus sell two second halves of a double feature or a single feature film to theaters.

The $200 donation for the bird sanctuaries would equate to over $2,420 in 2020. The $10,000 inheritance that comes with Joe equals over $121,000 in 2020.

A lot like a kooky 1960s Disney live-action film or "Mr. Ed".
