Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was Whitey's (William 'Billy' Benedict) last appearance in the series.
- GoofsThe first time the boys bring the horse to the racetrack to retrieve My Girl, Slip says "Whitey, you and Sach switch the horses - and do it with dispatch." Sach replies "I thought we were gonna do it with Tarzana," but there's no way at that point that Sach could have known the other horse is named Tarzana.

Featured review
"Be quiet a minute while I try to recompute the analysis of the circumstance."
The twenty-fourth Bowery Boys movie has the boys going to collect a debt for Louie and instead getting a race horse, which leads to them getting mixed up with gangsters. They were always mixed up with gangsters, it seems. A funny entry in the series with an increased amount of screen time for the always entertaining Bernard Gorcey as Louie the Sweet Shop owner. His scenes are among the movie's highlights. Leo Gorcey's malapropisms and Huntz Hall's rubberfaced idiocy provide the usual laughs. David Gorcey (now going by David Condon) hangs around in the background rarely speaking. Bennie Bartlett returns to playing Butch after a two-year absence. This is the last Bowery Boys film for William "Whitey" Benedict, who had been with the boys since the Little Tough Guys and East Side Kids days. Allen Jenkins is fun in a supporting role, his second consecutive Bowery Boys film (playing a different character than last time). Lovely Gloria Saunders plays the obligatory pretty girl (every movie in the series seemed to have one). Ted de Corsia is good as the main heavy. The plot is familiar but it doesn't hurt the picture much. The things that work well here (Slip, Sach, Louie) are what I enjoy most about the series.
