Women Are Trouble (1936)

This is one of the movies based at least loosely on the Flashgun Casey character. Stuart Erwin is Casey, a newspaper reporter. The city is in the midst of an extortion racket, terrorizing small liquor store owners. Florence Rice plays a girl reporter trying to get a job on the paper, but because of his own past marital problems, the editor (Paul Kelly) will not hire female reporters. Rice witnesses a waterfront murder, which forces the editor to hire her. She and Casey team up to solve the power behind the extortion.

Rice was the daughter of legendary sports reporter Grantland Rice.
