At the end of the film, Mr Albee is charged with "peonage". Peonage is a system where creditors forced debtors to work for them and is a form of involuntary servitude. Peonage was made illegal in the USA by an act of Congress in 1867.
Walter Tetley, who plays Pee Wee, later became a famous voice actor in animated films, most notably as Sherman, Mr. Peabody's boy, on "Rocky and His Friends".
