Johnny Weissmuller played himself, as a protagonist jungle adventurer. It was his second time doing so. Elements from the film's plot were taken from H. Rider Haggard's She: A History of Adventure (1887).

While still a work-in-progress, the film was referred to as simply Moon Men. It was directed by Charles S. Gould with assistance from Eddie Saeta. Sam Katzman was in charge of production for Columbia Pictures, while Jo Pagano and Dwight Babcock wrote the screenplay based on a story by Pagano. Henry Freulich signed on as cinematographer. The set decorator was Sidney Clifford.
