From 1946 to 1958, the comedy ensemble known as the Bowery Boys starred in more than 40 films. Led by "Slip" Mahoney (Leo Gorcey) and "Sach" Jones (Huntz Hall), the New York City natives solve mysteries, go on globe-trotting adventures, and scheme to get rich. When one of the Bowery Boys is photographed in front of a bank during a robbery, he becomes a suspect. They scramble to clear his name with the help of a professor's explosive inventions.
