Production

Silent-screen comedian Billy West had joined the Monogram staff in 1940 as an occasional director. The studio reminded movie columnists of West's credentials: "William West, director of Monogram's The Last Alarm, is a former screen comedian, having appeared in more than 200 comedies." West was then working full-time at Columbia Pictures, where he and his wife operated the Columbia Grill, a quick-service restaurant.

Both Harry Langdon and Charley Rogers had been gag writers for Laurel and Hardy. Rogers remembered the team's film Our Relations (1936), where the "Stan and Ollie" characters had twin brothers named "Alf and Bert". Rogers reused these character names for his new partnership with Langdon.
