Sources conflict concerning the film's producer, some identifying it as a Universal production, while others call it the first production of the Anti-Vice Motion Picture Co. According to the Variety review, the New York County District Attorney's office had recently conducted an investigation into white slavery. According to the copyright descriptions, the film was approved by Reverend C. H. Parkhurst, Lieutenant Costigan, the head of the Vice Squad of the New York police, and twenty ministers. The film opened in New York on September 3, 1916.
