Playing with Dynamite is a 1939 American mystery film directed by Noel M. Smith, written by Earle Snell and Charles Belden, and starring Jane Wyman, Allen Jenkins, and Tom Kennedy.

While in court, Torchy encounters Jackie Mcguire, who is the girlfriend of notorious bank robber Denver Eddie and is sentenced to jail for shoplifting.

Steve agrees to cooperate with Torchy's plan when she explains that the reward money for Eddie's capture will enable them to get married.

Jim Simmons, a San Francisco policeman, follows them, but Steve succeeds in convincing him that Gahagan is a wrestler and that he is his manager.

Playing with Dynamite is one of two films in the series starring actors other than Glenda Farrell as Torchy and Barton MacLane as Steve.

A leftover Torchy Blane script was adapted into the film Private Detective (1939), also starring Jane Wyman.

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