While doing their street-sweeping job, Stan and Ollie work in front of a building marked 'Finlayson National Bank' (an obvious nod to their frequent co-star James Finlayson, who plays Mr Vandevere in the 'extended' version of this film) and go to a side doorway to eat their lunch. When the scene changes to the robbery inside the bank, a sign is shown that says 'Farmers & Merchants Bank of Commerce'. The bank robber tries to escape through the doorway where Stan and Ollie sit, slips on a banana peel, and they catch him. In a wide shot of the doorway and street, now there are two signs identifying the bank as 'Finlayson National'. (This goof is seen only in the 'extended' version. In the shorter 'streamliner' version, the transition to the bank robbery scene is done with a sign that says, 'James Finlayson, President'. This had to be replaced when James Finlayson's role, and the dinner party scene, was added to the shorter 'streamliner' version for distribution overseas.)
