The sixth of nine "Torchy Blane" films released by Warner Brothers from 1937 to 1939.
When Torchy tells Steve she is going to "put two frog skins on a Gahagan special", she means she is going to bet two dollars.
The $50 Gahagan pays to rent the dog for one day equates to about $988 in 2021.
Several cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names, if any): Leo White (Bettor), Paul Panzer (Vendor), Al Lloyd (Vendor) and Sally Sage.
