With the departure of Leo Gorcey, Hall had become the series' main attraction; thus the group was renamed Huntz Hall and the Bowery Boys with this film. It also marked the first appearance of Stanislaus 'Duke' Covelske, played by Stanley Clements. Other cast changes include Queenie Smith taking over the role of landlady Mrs. Kelly, and the addition of Danny Welton in his only appearance as a member of the gang.
