6/10
Not too many surprises here.

Slip (Leo Gorcey) has a scheme. He wants to start his own escort service. However, no one will loan him the money and an opportunity arises when Louie goes on vacation....as he'll use the malt shop for his business. At the same time, a gang of thugs with their blonde bombshell (Adele Jergens) are going to rob a bank...and plan on tunneling in from the malt shop...much like the plot of "Larceny, Inc.". Will these knuckieheads figure out what is going on or will the robbery come off without a hitch?

This film is pretty much what you'd expect from a Bowery Boys movie...broad acting and not a lot of sophistication. This isn't so much a complaint....more like what you should expect. A few scenes are WAY overdone--such as the painful balcony scene. And yet, despite all its shortcomings, the film is reasonably entertaining because it never takes itself seriously. Overall, not one of the group's best--more just a very typical entry--with Sach being stupid and Slip being a mouthy know-it-all...as usual.

By the way, it's rather funny when throughout the film you hear people refer to the gang as 'kids'...considering they're mostly in their 30s!
