Revealing mistake: Stan is using a block and tackle to hoist Ollie up to the balcony of Finn's apartment. When Stan lets go of the rope, Ollie falls and lands flat on his back. It is obvious by the awkward angle of the legs that a dummy was used. In addition, the dummy lands with the legs close together but in the shot that follows, Ollie's legs are far apart and one leg is in the air.

Oliver: Well, fan my brow! I'm from the South.
Mary Roberts: You are?
Stan: Well, shut my mouth! I'm from the South too.
Oliver: The South of what, sir?
Stan: The South of London.
Trivia: When Lola tickles Stan whilst trying to retrieve the deed in the hotel bedroom, you can see Lola laughing. This was not scripted; Stan Laurel's hysterical laughing was so infectious that Sharon Lynn could not conceal her laughter.
