 A print of this film, long believed lost, was found by German film  archivists in Russia in July 2004. Until then, the only known  existing Laurel and Hardy film with the comic duo speaking all their  dialogue in German was the German trailer for this film. This was  originally advertised as Laurel and Hardys first German movie with  sound, and it was a big success, with jokes written specifically for  a German audience. The Munich Film Museum will restore the film for  screening and a future DVD release. It will be shown at the Bonn  Silent Film Festival on August 14, 2004.
