The Gold Racket (1937)

Conrad Ragel stars as agent Alan O'Connor, sent to break up a gold smuggling ring on the Mexican border. Reporter Eleanor Hunt is his sweetheart.

Fuzzy Knight is the goofy piano player and singer in the saloon. (He is studying to be an opera singer, so he pops garlic buds continually, much to the joy of his companions.) It appears that he does play the piano life in the musical scenes. Knight attended West Virginia University, and wrote a fight song that is still played there occasionally .

One of the suspects, the pilot hired to fly the gold to the U. S. (Frank Milan),  has a yen for the fair sex, so O'Connor sends for an entertainer to work undercover, and Hunt gets the job.
