Love Is on the Air (1937)

A radio show host is planning to do a story about an extorsion scheme led by a crooked club owner and involving members of the city administration; through pressure of the show's sponsor, who is a partner of the abovementioned gangster, our hero is demoted to the kiddie show. Meanwhile, the businessman who was going to expose the scheme is kidnapped and wrongly accused of disappearing after having embezzled company's money. Chance has it that one of the kids the radio host befriends while doing his show had a family member who was a victim of the same gang.

Low-budget thriller, not particularly noteworthy, although it has thematic elements which might be of interest to some.

Rating: 33
