In one scene,
Christine McIntyre's character discovers that
Shemp Howard is not the "Cousin Basil" she thought he was, and slaps him around, then punches him and knocks him through the door. McIntyre, who was not a professional stuntwoman, was timid and had to be coaxed by Shemp into performing the scene believably. After throwing him a great round of slaps with both hands, she leaned too far in with the finish; a powerful punch to the face. She actually did hit him, breaking his nose. The sequence was left in the picture. When it is watched in slow motion, Shemp can be seen falling down and opening his mouth like he was yelling in pain after the punch. Shemp was reportedly very groggy immediately afterwards. Christine then repeatedly apologized.
