Originally produced in the mid-1920s by the Fleischer Brothers' Inkwell Studios as a silent cartoon, one of eighteen shorts in Dave Fleischer's "Inklings" series.
Reissued in the United Kingdom in 1935 with an added soundtrack of music and narration, retitled as part of the "Snipshots" series.
Diploma Pictures distributed silent 16mm copies in the UK under the "Snipshots, No. 1" title, with intertitle cards instead of narration.
