This was kind of in the center of the bowery boys films, which means all three gorceys are in it... Leo, his brother, and his father. Along with huntz hall and billy benedict. In this one, when the military does a mock raid on the city, the boys join up. Although slip was already 35. Would the army really take him at 35, six years after the end of WW II, much less dumbrowski, at age 65 ? The usual silly bowery boys madness. Donald mcbride (was always yelling at the marx brothers) is in here as sergeant frisbie. Can the gang stay out of jail long enough to figure out who the spy is? All part of the bowery boy recipe of fun. Entertaining, if you go along for the ride. Directed by bill beaudine, who made tons of films with the bower boys crew. Leo gorcey wasn't in the last few bowery boys films, after his dad had died in a car accident. Leo passed away at age 55.
