One of the last bowery boys films with all three gorceys; the next year, dad gorcey (bernard) would die in a car accident. And leo would take a break from acting. Brother david did make a couple more bowery films, with huntz hall taking the lead. Keep an eye out for ellen corby, probably best known for waltons, or sabrina. In the story, when the local kids need a place to play ball, slip and sach visit a creepy house to ask permission for using their empty lot. Robots, monsters, suspense. The usual clever word play as slip mixes his metaphors and tries to appear extra smart. Paul wexler is the tall, creepy, butler grissom; laura mason is francine. It's fun and silly and campy. The guest stars get more air time than usual in this one. Directed by ed bernds, who directed a bunch of the bowery films. Leo gorcey and paul wexler both died quite young.
