 During the filming of the scene where Turpin, Ben (qv) tries to  steal the duck from the fountain, a real police officer happened to  come by, saw what was going on and, not believing Turpins story  about his only pretending to steal the duck because they were  filming a movie, actually arrested Turpin (the arrest was left in  the picture). Turpin spent several hours in jail before the  producers convinced the police that they were, in reality, only  making a movie.
