1917, partially because of comments by Laurel in a 1957 interview. Other sources dated the film to 1918 and 1919. However, on the basis of an examination of the dates on which Laurel was available for filming, and the appearance of a 1920 automobile license plate in one shot of the complete film, the filming most likely occurred during the autumn and winter of 1920 and into early 1921. The film was released for distribution in late 1921 by Reelcraft. The film's production cost was estimated at approximately $3,000.
