5/10

Rather typical for the series.

Slip Mahoney (Leo Gorcey) is mistaken for an honest to goodness private detective and a lady asks him to find her lost sister. The trail leads to a phony psychic and it's soon apparent that this man, Dr. Carter, is a mobster with plenty of henchmen ready to kill Slip and the gang. Not surprisingly, much of the final half of the film involves these nasties chasing the gang. The highlight during this portion was when these six idiots appear on a game show, Dr. Quizard, and are thought to be geniuses in their respective fields. Overall, this film is exactly what you'd expect from a film in the series...corny jokes, Louie loaning the boys money and the gang managing to somehow survive and win the day by the end of the film. Not what anyone would call great entertainment but modestly entertaining. If you love these films, you'll like this one and if you hate them, it won't change your mind.

Goofs
At 10:47 Gabe chews on a match. The match shifts from left and right sides of his mouth between group shots and close-ups, and even seems to disappear entirely in the last shot.
