In Los Angeles, Raft goes backstage at a show called Ken Murray's Blackouts to talk to Murray. He was a real person, and the show was real as well. A combination of variety and burlesque, it was finishing a seven-year run at the El Capitan theatre at the time the movie was released.
The story was written by actor Donald 'Red' Barry. He played Red Ryder in Republic serials, where he got the nickname Red. He was busy actor in westerns and playing other tough guys.
