 Producer Kroger Babb had so much faith in this project that he  determined that the film itself meet the accepted technical  standards of a professional production. To achieve this, within the  limits of his available capital, he approached one of Hollywoods  leading poverty row studios, Monogram Pictures, to actually make the  film. Monogram assigned producer Barney A. Serecky (as production  supervisor), director of photography Marcel Le Picard, editor  Richard Currier and especially director William Beaudine. This team  had long experience with creating "one week wonders" on time and  within meager budgets.
