Jed Buell was inspired to make the film when he overheard an employee of his production company, Spectrum Pictures, bemoaning the state of the film business. He said, "If this economy doesn't turn around, we'll have to start making pictures with midgets."
After the film's release, Jed Buell reportedly planned to use the same cast in a film version of the story of Paul Bunyan, with a large gentleman playing Bunyan.
Billy Curtis, Yvonne Moray, 'Little Billy' Rhodes, Joseph Herbst, Charles Becker, Nita Krebs, George Ministeri, Karl 'Karchy' Kosiczky, Fern Formica, William H. O'Docharty, Jerry Maren, and August Clarence Swenson all subsequently were cast as Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz (1939).
One of the films included in "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (And How They Got That Way)" by Harry Medved and Randy Lowell.
The earliest documented telecasts of this film took place in Detroit MI 7/12/49 on WJBK (Channel 2), in Atlanta GA 11/24/49 on WAGA (Channel 5), and in Salt Lake City UT 12/10/49 on KSL (Channel 5).
"[first lines] Master of Ceremonies: Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages, we're going to present for your approval a novelty picture with an all-midget cast, the first of its kind to ever be produced. I'm told that it has everything, that is, everything that a western should have."
"The Ranch Owner (Pop Lawson): Seems to me that I smell something that should be buried - smells mighty like a polecat. The Rich Uncle (Jim 'Tex' Preston): Why, you!"
