Ray Cooke stars as Torchy in the first of a dozen shorts from 1931 through 1933. He gets fired from his job as an office boy, goes to work -- briefly -- for a phony gold mining company, then gets a job as Edmund Breese's office boy. Franklin Pangborn and Dorothy Dix fill out the cast.
Sewell Ford wrote a series of stories about the red-headed Torchy, and Johnny Hines rose to stardom as the character in the early 1920s. C. C. Burr, who produced the Hines series thought the character could be revived. This short mostly serves to introduce the character, and does so with a lot of charm.
