Trivia
According to co-star/assistant director/location manager Ray Sager, most of the film was shot at a small radio station in San Antonio, Texas which was titled K-BOX, which played only country-western music. Needing a location for a TV studio with offices, Sager phoned the manager of the radio station during pre-production while scouting potential filming locations, and since the manager was a huge fan of the star-singer Claude King, the K-BOX manger allowed Herschell Gordon Lewis and the film crew full access to film in and around the radio station.

Gov. Baxter: Who?
Chet Stoner: Hank Jackson, the singer.
Gov. Baxter: [laughs] Oh, you boys really had me there! For a minute, I thought you really was bluffing! Gentlemen, this isn't California. The people of this state aren't convinced you can just sprinkle a little sand on the floor of the senate, and stomp on your feet instead of talking sense!
