Based on Victor Herbert's popular 1903 operetta Babes in Toyland, the film was produced by Hal Roach, directed by Charley Rogers and Gus Meins, and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Man In The Attic 1953
Mrs. Railton, who happens to be blind and deaf, somehow manages to run a private club, as well as acting as a fence for baddie Clem Hayes and his gang of misfits. After one of the gang gets caught during a heist, Mrs. Railton tells Clem that they'll need to cool it for a while.
But Clem has different ideas, and reveals details relating to a diamond consignment worth £250,000 that is coming over from Amsterdam.
He reveals where the diamonds are being stored, and has floor plans of the building, so the gang can be in and out with no problems.
