Too much time is wasted in this film showing the villains plotting conspiracies rather than providing the film with any action, and that makes the main plot involving the attempts for enemy agents to get their hand on a special kind of plane paint rather dull in this early World War II espionage drama. That leaves the second plot involving blonde nightclub singer Virginia Vale's disguise as a dark-haired Spanish singer while trying to hide from the enemies who are after her brother (Hugh Beaumont), the paint inventor. She encounters American Roger Pryor who seems to spend more time at the bar than at his business, but it is obvious that somehow he is involved in something more then trying to pick up exotic looking women in hotel bars.
Fairly enjoyable for what it is, this has some memorable comic moments and a few scenes with Pryor and hotel valet Sam McDaniel who in spite of being the stereotypical black domestic actually gets to show some intelligence with his funny lines. Vale is convincing with her Spanish disguise although this plotline has been done hundreds of times. The film does pick up steam at the end when the villains (led by veteran western bad guy Duncan Renaldo) get their hands on Vale and Pryor in a last-ditch effort to find Beaumont which leads to an exciting chasing. Other than that, it's a rather ordinary PRC programmer and quickly forgettable.
