A cloudburst swept away an entire filming location just thirty minutes after the company, who had been working on a river bottom all morning, had left for the day.
This was the first major role of Dennis O'Keefe and the first time he used that name. In bit parts earlier, he was on the books as "James Edward Flanagan" or "Bud Flanagan".
Studio records list John Wray in the role of "Mr. Grant", but he was replaced by Wade Boteler. Other actors in studio records not appearing in the film were John T. Murray (Preacher), George Regas (Indian Chief), and Harry Wilson (Bargee LaFarge).
