On the Spot is a 1930 Chicago-set play by the British writer Edgar Wallace. Wallace was inspired by a visit to the United States and, in particular, the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. Known as a prolific author, he reportedly dictated the manuscript for the play in just four days. It was his greatest theatrical success. It transferred to America in October 1930 and ran for 167 performances at the Forrest Theatre in New York. In 1931, Wallace novelised the play using the same title.
