The first Stooges short to re-use old footage; the canoe scene at the end is from Whoops, I'm an Indian! (1936), which was why they change clothes before boarding the canoe (to match the footage - "On with the disguises!").
The tune when they drop balls connected to their chains is the NBC theme.
The music box tune that the Stooges and female Pilgrims dance to is Beethoven's Minuet in G Major, WoO 10, No. 2.
Production number: 268.
Larry's (Larry Fine) reference to the WPA would have been familiar to audiences in 1937 as the federal government had established a "Works Progress Administration" to hire millions of job seekers to carry out public work projects during the economic Great Depression of the 1930s.
