Adele Jergens, who appeared in two other Bowery Boys films, was a natural fit for these guys as she had the looks and the attitude. Jergens was a very good actress and does her thing here as one of the "blondes" in cahoots with some baddies who want to rob a bank. Writer Charles Marion, one of the primary writers of Bowery Boys scripts, next to actor Tim Ryan, may have "borrowed" the storyline from the Edward G. Robinson flick LARCENY, INC (1942) as the gang's Park Avenue Escort Bureau! Is next door to a nice little bank that should be robbed! The robbers, lead by smooth Harry Lewis (as Champ), trick Sach (while Slip is away with the gals) into doing some underground uranium digging --right into the bank!
This one is hilarious and Leo Gorcey is fun to watch getting p.o'ed by Sach's wild antics. Best of all is Louie (Bernard Gorcey) who goes nuts when he discovers what the boys did to his sweet shop while he was away at Coney island with the Mrs! Top Bowery Boys, real goofy stuff, and look at the Bowery Boys' elite line of escort clothes! To note, Lewis later gave up acting to concentrate full time on his Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain in Los Angeles, which he opened about the time this film was made. Years later he sold out for nearly 30 million bucks!
According to production notes this film took the longest to produce, nearly two weeks time to film, perhaps due to the insanity! Campy all the way. Warner Brothers dvd box set. Get this one for your collection.
