Rex gets strong support in Inside Information from heavies Charles King and Philo McCollough as well as beautiful Marion Shilling, who was able to retire from Hollywood at age 25 when she married a real estate tycoon.

Rin Tin Tin clone Tarzan the Wonder Dog is top-billed in the independently produced INSIDE INFORMATION. Tarzan nuzzles up to hero Rex Lease, a detective assigned to locate some missing bonds. The crooks prove no match for Tarzan, who bares his fangs and tears their clothes asunder. A happy ending is had by all, include Lease's lady friend Marion Shilling. INSIDE INFORMATION was co-scripted by Victor Potel, a silent comedy star of the pre-World War I era.
