You have to hand it to Leo Gorcey. When he dreams, he dreams big.
WITH SO MANY convoluted elements and twisting turning plot being included, it would seem that this BOWEERY BOYS deserved to be an "A" Picture film. At least Slip, Sach, Gabe, Louie, Chuck, Whitey and Butch should have been allotted the increased running time of an "A".
By1950 the Bowery Boys were already among moviedom's oldest "teens," but incredibily the series lasted for another 6 years and more than 20 movies, with the scripts getting increasingly sillier and the plots more far fetched.

After wise-guy Leo Gorcey (as Terence Aloysius "Slip" Mahoney) and hair-brained Huntz Hall (as Horace De Bussy "Sach" Jones) spy a beautiful woman exiting an "escort service", they decide to answer the call for "Male Escorts Wanted - must be handsome, intelligent, cultured"; but, the business throws them out on the street.
