Plot

The Dead End Kids ride a freight train through California. After arrest, Tom and Pig are hired to work on a ranch owned by Mama Posito. Tom learns Posito hasn't seen her son in years, but believes he may still be alive. Tom decides to pose as her son. Posito's benevolence gets the best of Tom, and he stays for love, not greed.

Production

Billy Halop and Huntz Hall were now joined by fellow Dead End Kids Gabriel Dell, Bernard Punsly, and Bobby Jordan, the latter making his first of three appearances in the Universal series.

The series was now officially coined "The Dead End Kids and The Little Tough Guys". However, much of the attention for most of these entries would be on the original Dead End Kids, while the Little Tough Guys were often reduced to walk-on cameos.
