The last of nine "Torchy Blane" films made by Warner Brothers between 1937 and 1939. One of only two films in the series to not feature Glenda Farrell as Torchy and Barton MacLane as Steve. The other film was Torchy Blane in Panama (1938) starring Lola Lane and Paul Kelly in the lead roles.
Torchy works at the Daily Star - same newspaper that Lois Lane worked at in her first comic book appearance. (Later, Lane's paper was called the more-familiar Daily Planet.)
