Fly Away Baby) is a 1937 American crime-mystery film starring Glenda Farrell as reporter Torchy Blane, along with her detective boyfriend, Steve McBride (Barton MacLane) solving a murder and smuggling case during around-the-world flight.

Croy is a reporter for the rival Star-Telegram, and the son of the newspaper's owner, constantly in trouble over gambling debts and an outstanding loan.

Torchy decides to follow him and talks her newspaper into sending her around the world in a race with Sonny and another reporter for the Daily Journal, Hughie Sprague.

The journey ahead takes Torchy and her rivals across the Pacific, Asia, and Europe with stops at Honolulu, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Stuttgart, Germany.
