The plot and cast number are similar to the lost 1933 film Convention City. Robert Lord was a writer in both films, though this one is not nearly as risque and racy.[4]
Madge and Lois take the train from New York City to Reno, NV to get quickie divorces from their husbands.
According to Warner Bros records the film earned $220,000 domestically and $103,000 internationally.[1]
