Quiz
The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film; therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

Blooper
Danny sits on a stoop with his arms on his knees, but when a different camera takes over at 28:50, his right elbow is on his knee while his head rests against his palm.

6/10

Once again, Muggs and the gang are a bunch of jerks.

I've seen about a dozen of the East Side Kids/Bowery Boys films and I guess that they are an acquired taste that I just haven't been able to acquire. Once again, the gang (particularly Muggs) is made up of jerks and you wonder why Danny would have anything to do with them. In this case, Danny accidentally apprehends a wanted criminal and collects a $200 reward. The gang inexplicably thinks they are entitled to 6/7th of the money...and end up stealing it from Danny. What these little juvenile delinquents don't realize is that Danny was planning on buying uniforms for the gang so they could have a baseball team. Instead of telling them, Danny just decides he's had enough of these jerks and leaves the gang...or, perhaps the gang just left him. Fortunately, by the end of the film the gang came through and all was forgiven.

The film works much better than KID DYNAMITE because although the gang was pretty difficult to like, they did come through in the end and Leo Gorcey's jerk routine wasn't as Muggs wasn't as pronounced as in other films. While not brilliant entertainment by any standard, it is worth seeing and is a bit above average in quality and entertainment value compared to the other films I've seen from the series.
