Production background

Producer Mack Sennett brought Arbuckle and Normand to the Panama–Pacific International Exposition, also known as the 1915 San Francisco World's Fair. They turned the cameras around, using the Fair crowds as extras and the Fair itself as a free background. Arbuckle and Normand clowned around and interacted with the Fair's surprised attendees. Among the sights shown are:

The film ends with a nighttime view of the fair, including a scene with the "Captive Aeroplane", an early amusement ride.

Prints of the film exist in the Library of Congress film archive.[1]
