Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe thirteenth of forty-eight Bowery Boys movies released from 1946 to 1958.
- GoofsAt the Higgins' apartment, Slip toasts Johnny with a glass of clear uncarbonated liquid. Satch says something stupid, prompting Slip to throw the liquid in his face. Satch licks his lips and says (probably ad-lib) "Cream soda," but cream soda is usually reddish-brown, which would look dark in a B&W film.

Featured review
The Bowery Boys are scam vendors at a boxing match. Local boxer Jimmy Higgins gets killed in a rigged fight. The Boys care for Jimmy's mother. Jimmy's older brother Johnny returns vowing to take down the corrupted boxing game with help from the Boys.
The use of an outside character does diffuse some of the comedy and tension. Otherwise, this is a perfectly fine Bowery Boys film. The hot dog gag is fun but the movie doesn't have as many gags later on. I don't know if any of the Boys could be a fighter but that has the potential for great gags. I'm just recalling the many great comedians doing comedic boxing. That's what's missing from this one.
