The Adventurous Blonde is a 1937 American comedy mystery film directed by Frank McDonald and starring Glenda Farrell, Barton MacLane and Anne Nagel.

Torchy's own telegram is from her boyfriend detective Steve McBride announcing that he will have a minister waiting to marry them when she arrives at the train station.

Four reporters, Mat, Dud, Mugsy and Pete, decides to play a practical joke on her and conspire to fake the murder of an actor; for the dual purpose of blocking Steve's marriage to Torchy, and at the same time making her the laughing stock of all newspaper.

They hope that Torchy will report the death and that a second paper owned by publisher Mortimer Gray will embarrass her by printing the truth.

Warner Archive released a boxed set DVD collection featuring all nine Torchy Blane films on March 29, 2011.
