Notes

Scenes for the film were shot in the Cumberland Mountain country. The film was first put on the state rights market in July 1920, with Film Market, Inc., handling the distribution; a new ad campaign in September-October 1920 announced Sterling as the distributor. News items in trade journals in November 1920 announced that Corles Film Corp. had acquired the film and would distribute it through Fidelity Pictures Co., who put the film on the state rights market late that year. Contemporary trade articles credit J. Harrison Edwards as writer but do not specify whether he wrote the scenario, the story or both.
