The East Side Kids(who later on became The Bowery Boys) star here as a gang of 40's street kid hoodlums as they always do. What gives this one a little different flavor is that Huntz Hall dresses in drag for a bunch of the movie trying to fool Mug's(Leo Gorcey's) rich Texan uncle into thinking he's a woman. Also there's some man on man kissing action and we find out Mugs real first name is Ethelbert. Besides that this is a pretty typical dumb 40's comedy with a little uncomfortable racial humor thrown in for added chuckles. The best thing though about these movies is they're all around an hour long and a good way to wake up on a hungover Saturday morning.
A mad journey into the mind of the depraved!
