- Work historyThe actress Beatrice Kane is credited at the beginning and end of the film for the role of Betsy Horrick (the actress played that role in the first Barton film, Dick Barton Special Agent). However, she does not actually appear in the film and was probably cut from the final release. The film was trade shown on 21 September 1950 at 6110 feet and registered with the Board of Trade on 13 October at 6099 feet. Kane may have featured in the 111 feet (1 min 14 secs) of footage that was cut between these two dates.
