This PRC programmer provided a rare starring role for the very prolific character actor Byron Foulger. Although he gets only third billing, his character has the most screen time.
On the film itself, Byron Foulger is given third billing. On the original one-sheet, he is given second billing behind Sidney Blackmer but ahead of Rick Vallin.
The police didn't have a warrant to enter Digberry's apartment, Digberry wasn't present so when he gets home to find his typewriter missing, he could have felt he'd been robbed if there hadn't been a police officer waiting for him. The officer just said come with me, and doesn't advise him he's a suspect but Digberry agreeably goes with him. Additionally, the commissioner grabs the cat after inking his paws, but there's no ink on his light suit even though no one wiped off the paw.
