    "I'll telephone you just as soon as I know more about the case than you do."
    Third in WB's fun Torchy Blane series. This time Torchy and Steve are about to get married but get sidetracked with another murder investigation. The particulars of this murder are a doozy. Four of Torchy's rival reporters stage a murder to stop the wedding but then the actor playing the victim actually winds up killed. Cast includes Anne Nagel, George E. Stone, William Hopper, Charley Foy, and Natalie Moorhead. Glenda Farrell and Barton MacLane are especially cute together in this one.
