About ten minutes into the movie, Pomeroy Watson (Lou Costello) gets a ticket for jaywalking. After the cop gives him the ticket, he and Smokey (Bud Abbott) turn around to go back to the base. They pass a baby carriage in front of a store window with a very young girl in it. Pomeroy stops and says, "Hey, Smokey, look at the cute kid". That "cute kid" is Costello's daughter, Carole Costello.
