With many actors called up for World War II, Monogram Pictures began a series starring two older but still popular Western stars, Hoot Gibson and Ken Maynard. Maynard recalled Monogram offered each of them $600 per film. When Maynard remarked to Gibson that the pair of them should lose some weight for the film, Gibson replied "For the kind of money we're gettin' I ain't missin' no desserts".[1]
