Re-titled The Double Crossed Fool, this film was first purchased for telecast in New York City in mid-1948 by WPIX (Channel 11), as part of their newly acquired series of three dozen Hal Roach feature film productions, originally released theatrically between 1931 and 1943, and now being syndicated for television broadcast by Regal Television Pictures. However, no record of WPIX ever showing the film has been found. Its earliest documented telecasts were in New York City 5 July 1949 on WJZ (Channel 7), who picked up the Roach package after WPIX was finished with it, in Salt Lake City Wednesday 13 July 1949 on WDYL (Channel 4), and in Detroit Thursday 22 September 1949 on WXYZ (Channel 7).
For exhibitors who refused to show double features, Hal Roach combined this film with The Devil with Hitler (1942) and released it as a regular-length feature titled "That Natzy Nuisance".
At 43 minutes, this is another Hal Roach "streamliner" - short features intended as the second half of a double feature.
