About what you'd expect when the East Side Kids go to the races.

One weird thing about the East Side Kid and Bowery Boys movies is that a plot can come from out of no where AND never be mentioned again in subsequent films. A great example is "Mr. Muggs Rides Again".

Muggs (Leo Gorcey) is a jockey and he wins the race at the beginning of the story. But he's soon disqualified when a cheating device is found under his saddle. Of course Muggs wasn't cheating...but someone planted it there to throw the race. And, as a result, Muggs is banned from being a jockey. The rest of the film is about him regaining his job and finding the folks responsible. In the middle are a few other things...but it's all incidental.

This film is okay...just okay. Rarely is the ending in doubt and the story is pretty much what you'd expect...with Muggs being a tough guy and Glimpy (Huntz Hall) a complete idiot. Not a bad film but also not one that is particularly distinguished...with the obligatory rear projection since I can only assume Gorcey never rode a horse before or after. A time-passer and not much more.
