Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** The boys get involved in a Eastern European monarchy when exiled Princess Ann of Trunia goes to Louie's Sweet Shop in the Bowery to get in touch with its owner Louie Dumbrosky. Louie just happens to be the twin brother of Trunian freedom fighter General Felix Dombrowsky who's leading a guerrilla movement to overthrow Trunia's Communist dictatorship that threw her father King Rako out of power.

The "Bowery Boys" headed by Slip & Sach as well as Butch and Chuck go into action in getting King Rako back in power by uncovering a rat, or rats, in the King's royal guard in his right hand man Col. Baxis and Lady in Waiting Lady Zelda. The two are really are working for the traitors who drove the King, Ann's father, from power. With Louie given a half coin from Princess Ann he's to get the second half from a Trunia courier loyal to the King to let the King know that it's safe for him to return back home. The rub is that both Col. Baxis & Lady Zelda are planning to have Louie get a fake half coin and trick King Rako into going back to Trunia prematurely and be shot as soon as he departs from the plane!

***SPOILERS*** The boys go into action in exposing the plan to whack the King by Col. Baxis and Lady Zelda but only after Sach who's both hypnotized by the sexy Lady Zelda's looks as well as her diamond pendent finally gets his head together. Sach as well as the "Bowery Boys", as they say in the Bowery, gets with the program in foiling Zelda and Col. Baxis sinister and back stabbing plan in a movie ending free for all with Princess Ann's fiancées Michael,just off the plane from Trunia, joining in the fighting. Nothing that you haven't seen before as the "Bowery Boys" prevent the King from being shot by putting Col, Baxis and Lady Zelda together with their Trunian Communist Government goons away in their usual fist and cream pie throwing antics. What disappointed me about "Spy Chasers" is what a previous reviewer pointed out in not giving Louie Dumbrosky, or actor Bernard Gorcey, a duel role in the film as himself and his freedom fighting brother Felix! In fact Felix was by far the most important and most talked about person in the movie but we never got a chance to ever see him!
