It's the comedy in these old crime films that make them so entertaining. I like how she kept the villain subdued with a table and kicking at him with her heels. Great fun.

A great comedic crime movie! I've watched this multiple times, and it's still fresh and fun. Thanks!! PS: Especially love the ending, tying in this PI with Boston Blackie!

Enjoyed that, just the right mix of seriousness and levity to keep me entertained.

Neil Hamilton made his first movie in 1918-his last in 1971. Of course as noted below he is most famous as Com. Gordon in Batman.

The credits are missing. Music by Clarence Wheeler, best remembered for his music scoring for Walter Lantz cartoons from the 40s-50s. This score often sounds like one.

June Storey made ten films with Gene Autry. She was severely injured in an auto accident and became a nurse after that. She was married 3 times. Had a child by each of her first two husbands.

I wonder how much they saved by not employing a lighting crew.
