Plot

Louie is owed money by a stable owner and sends Slip and the boys to collect the debt. They return with a horse called My Girl as payment. Local gangsters want the horse and switch their horse, Tarzana, for My Girl. The 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 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 for which David Gorcey was credited using his mother's maiden name of Condon. [1] It also marks the return of Bennie Bartlett to the gang and William Benedict's final appearance in the series. Benedict said: "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.
