    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Final appearance of Ernest Morrison (Scruno) as an active member of the East Side Gang. Morrison would later appear in Follow the Leader (1944), but only in a flashback sequence using archive footage from Flying with Music (1942).
    • Goofs
      In the credits, Bobby Stone is billed as playing "Dave," Bill Bates is billed as playing "Sleepy," and Billy Benedict is billed as playing "Benny." In actuality, Stone plays the role of "Rocky," and it's Bates who plays "Dave" (a character who is, indeed, defined by his sleepiness). Benedict indeed plays Benny, but several times he's called "Skinny," his character name in other movies.
