Torchy Blane in Chinatown is a 1939 American mystery film directed by William Beaudine and starring Glenda Farrell and Barton MacLane.

The rivalry between newspaper reporter Torchy Blane and her boyfriend, Lieutenant Steve McBride, escalates as the two investigate a death threat involving priceless jade tablets.

A note written in Chinese warns the impending doom at midnight unless a ransom is paid for the valuable jades, which have been stolen.

That night, Torchy Blane joins Steve at the Adventurers Club where he and his assistant Gahagan are guarding the threatened victims, Fitzhugh, Mr. Mansfield and Captain Condon.

At the appointed place, Torchy and Steve surface in the submarine, just in time to save Dick and prove that the murders were all part of an elaborate plot by Fitzhugh, Mansfield, and Condon to extort money from Senator Baldwin.
