It was based on the 1915 short story "The Making of Mac's" by British author P. G. Wodehouse. The film was released in the United Kingdom as The Golden Butterfly, in a form shortened to 5 reels, and had a limited release in the US under the title The Road to Happiness. The film was shot at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin, and on location in London and Cambridge. The film's sets were designed by the art director Paul Leni.
