Lucky Devils is a 1941 American mystery film directed by Lew Landers and starring Andy Devine, Richard Arlen and Janet Shaw.

[1] A sly pair of newsreel reporters, Dick McManus and Andy Tompkins, who work for the Mercury News Reel Company, has made a profession of photographing stories featuring daredevil acts by ordinary people.

At the same time, reporters Dick and Andy are informed by their editor, K. W. Momsen, at the Mercury News Reel Company offices, that they may be held responsible if anything does happen to the dam.

To get an exclusive on the coverage, Dick tricks Norma into leaving her desk, and then he sends out a fake news item that quintuplet colts have been born at a nearby farm.

At the pier, Dick and Andy get involved in the news story by fending off an attempt to assassinate the royal couple and the subsequently become heroes.

As luck would have it, the two reporters make the news anyway, when they rescue the pilot Gordon Douglas after his plane crashes during an around-the-world flight.

Saboteurs Ritter and Berko go to the Mercury offices and offer to buy the Phillips Dam footage, but are turned down by the editor.

After photographing the murder story, Dick and Andy are almost killed themselves by Ritter and Berko when the spies are caught stealing the dam footage.

Ritter and Berko, pretends to be FBI agents, and pay a visit to Norma at the radio station to learn Dick and Andy's whereabouts.

Back at the Mercury offices, Momsen is being bombarded with returned newsreels of the fake dam blow-up from angry agencies.
