this chapter sillier than usual

Warning: Spoilers
Those crazy bowery boys have done it again. Leo gorcey (along with his real brother and father, of course) get into the usual mess that has to be straightened out later. When louie goes on a badly needed vacation, slip turns the shop into an escort service to raise money. Meanwhile.... adele jergens is joan, gabe's no good girlfriend. She robs him of the money he has "borrowed" from the bank where he works. So now, gabe has to help her rob the bank, or he won't get "his" money back. To tunnel into the bank, the crooks send girls in pretending to need the escort service to distract slip and sach. That has to be the most convoluted plot ever ! The silly opera scene just goes on waaaaay too long. Not one of their better chapters. The story is just so wacky. And slip spends most of the film smacking sach and whitey. One fun connection: louie's wife sarah....played by jody gilbert. She is hilarious as the waitress in "never give a sucker an even break" with w.c. Fields; if you haven't seen it, it's so funny. Blonde dynamite directed by bill beaudine, who directed thirty of these films with the guys. Most of them are better than this one. Although there is a fun ending! Leo gorcey died young at 51 from liver issues. He had left the business when his dad died.
