The viewed print was missing all the production credits except for the name of the film's stars. The working title of this film was Thirteen Steps to Heaven. According to a Hollywood Reporter news item, the picture was to be the first entry in a new series that was to replace Columbia's "Ellery Queen" films, which the studio had ceased producing in 1942. William Gargan and Margaret Lindsay, who starred in the film, also appeared in several of the Ellery Queen pictures, and James Hogan directed many of them. This picture did not spawn a series, however.
