The film was directed by Lew Landers, released by RKO Radio Pictures and is based on the play What's a Fixer For?

However, when Pat falls to her death during a performance, Dugan persuades Aggie to take charge of the orphan girl.

Darlow shows up with a policeman, but Dugan dupes him into signing a bill of sale, returning the lions to Aggie.
