Torchy Blane in Panama is a 1938 American mystery film directed by William Clemens and starring Lola Lane, Paul Kelly, and Tom Kennedy.
Torchy, Steve, and Gahagan are on the trail of a bank robber aboard an ocean liner traveling from New York to Los Angeles via the Panama Canal.
When policeman Gahagan witnesses a bank robbery during a parade of the Loyal Order of Leopards, he rushes off to call his boss, Steve McBride.
Determined to scoop the other newspapers, Torchy convinces Steve that the perpetrator of the recent bank robbery will travel with the Los Angeles delegation of Leopards through the Panama Canal and exchange the stolen money outside the country.
When Stan sees Torchy leaving his room with Steve, he decides to sneak off the boat in Panama with the money, which he has hidden in a stuffed leopard mascot.
