Trivia
According to Robert Osborne, the script was submitted to the Production Code office for review in 1934 and it was rejected on the grounds that the film could teach people how to commit arson. The studio turned for help to an insurance company and the Los Angeles fire department. Both wrote letters to the Code office challenging the ruling. In a rare instance for the day, their decision was reversed.

one of sothern's early roles

One of ann sothern's earlier credited roles. Adrienne teams up with tom, a fire investigator, to figure out who is starting all the fires around town. Tom (ed lowe) figures out how they did it, but needs more time to find the perp. And when they figger out who-dunnit, what will they do? It's pretty good. I tried to guess who did it, but missed by that much. Interesting mostly as one of sothern's early roles. Lowe played philo vance for one film. So many deleted and uncredited roles in this one! Directed by erle kenton; had worked with mack sennett, abbott and costello. Comedy from waaaaay back. Thank buddha for turner classics!
