Fly-Away Baby (a.k.a. Fly Away Baby) is a 1937 American crime-mystery film starring Glenda Farrell as reporter Torchy Blane, along with her detective boyfriend, Steve McBride (Barton MacLane) solving a murder and smuggling case during around-the-world flight.

After the success of the first film Smart Blonde (1937), Warner Bros. quickly produced a second film based on the Torchy Blane / Steve McBride crime-fighting duo, where Torchy once again beat the police and solved the crime all on her own. Released on June 19, 1937, the film is followed by The Adventurous Blonde (1937).
