The film shows some early morning street scenes in the surrounding Los Angeles area.

The film makes use of reversing the film several times for comic effect: sliding up the fireman's pole, reversing the horses, hurrying back to station (in reverse) when he forgets the crew etc.
 The huge water tank in the station also comically has a second function as the coffee machine.
 A lot of the kicking in the film is clearly unfaked and fairly violent.
