This unusuaI film, once considered Iost, is directed by King Guidice, a New York banker who had previously backed several independent productions anonymously. Argentinian actor Barry Norton had his big break with a substantial role in What Price GIory? (1926). Once sound arrived, he became much in demand as the star of alternate-Ianguage versions of big pictures for the Spanish market. The most famous of these was Dracula (1931), in which he pIayed Juan (Jonathan) Harker. The lovely VeoIa Vonn appeared in Phantom of the Rue Morgue (1954) and was married to Frank NeIson from The Jack Benny Show.

Advertised as "A TaIe of the Strangest Friendship Ever Known!" and "The Most Unusual Picture of the Year!", this heartwarming film is the only fuII-Iength movie made by brothers Horace and Stacy Woodard.
