Chasing Trouble (1940), directed by Howard Bretherton, is a light-hearted spy comedy from Monogram Pictures that blends wartime intrigue with slapstick humor. The film stars Frankie Darro as Jimmy "Cupid" O'Brien, a delivery boy for a flower shop who unwittingly stumbles upon a Nazi spy ring operating in the U.S. With the help of his bumbling friend Jefferson, played by Mantan Moreland, Jimmy attempts to expose the saboteurs while staying one step ahead of danger. Filled with fast-paced antics, coded messages, and patriotic overtones, Chasing Trouble is a fun and quirky entry into the world of 1940s B-movie espionage and has earned cult status for its charm and comedic energy.
