Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThough released six weeks after the Hindenburg disaster, which put a stop to all commercial dirigible flights, the film's climax occurs on a German dirigible and it contains stock footage of the Hindenburg (LZ-129).
- GaffesThe map of Torchy's flight "shows" it ending in Frankfurt, Germany, but it's actually flying to Berlin. Frankfurt, where Zeppelin flights took off from and arrived at, is much farther to the west.

Sgt. Orville Gahagan: [to a gaggle of reporters trying to get into the crime scene, including Torchy] Orders is no reporters, male or female - especially female!

A rather typical Torchy Blane except for the weird setting for the final portion of the film...that WAS very unusual!
Torchy (Glenda Farrell) and her boyfriend, Steve (Barton MacLane) are once again preparing to get married. And, once again, a murder occurs and derails their plans. This is a perennial theme in this series as well as in the Falcon and Bulldog Drummond.
The police, naturally, arrest the wrong man and Torchy thinks that the real killer is going on a worldwide race--and she intends to chase him and prove his guilt. However, there are a lot of twists and turns and she isn't exactly right--but of course she saves the day by the end of the film. All of this is very, very ordinary...EXCEPT the location of the final portion of the film. During this worldwide jaunt, the trail leads to Germany...yes, NAZI Germany! And, with the help of the German police, the mystery is solved...ABOARD THE HINDENBURG!!!! For an ex-history teacher like me, it made the film worth seeing--even if the plot really is a bit pedestrian.
