Plot

Louie is owed money by a stable-owner and sends Slip and the boys over to collect the debt. They return with a horse, My Girl, as payment. Local gangsters want the horse and switch their horse, Tarzana, for the gang's horse. They boys discover the ruse and the horses are switched several more times.

After the boys finally procure the real My Girl, Sach races her against Tarzana (the gangster's horse) and several others, ending with a photo finish in which My Girl beats Tarzana by a tongue. The gangsters quickly try to leave town before their boss finds them.

Production

This was the first film that David Gorcey was credited under using his mother's maiden name, Condon. [1] It is also the return of Bennie Bartlett to the gang.

This was also the last appearance of William Benedict in the series. Benedict's reason for leaving the series was that "I suddenly decided I had enough, and it was getting a little rough doing 'em - emotionally. There was a lot of infighting going on and I said, 'I don't need this'". [2]

Home media

Warner Archives released the film on made-to-order DVD in the United States as part of "The Bowery Boys, Volume One" on November 23, 2012.
