Up in the Air is a 1940 American comedy mystery film directed by Howard Bretherton and starring Frankie Darro, Marjorie Reynolds and Mantan Moreland.
Police detectives Phillips and Delaney arrive at the scene, and despite not finding the murder weapon, they suspect wannabe cowboy singer Tex Barton, who tried to slip out the back door after the shooting.
Frankie and Jeff investigate of their own and search Tex's room but find only a picture of Anne, suggesting that her real name is Gladys.
Frankie discovers from a radio station in Cheyenne that Gladys was a blonde woman who was married to Tex and fell in love with one of her superiors.
When the station executives are gathered in one room by the police, one of them named Van Martin draws a gun and confesses to both crimes.
