Sach gets a punch in the face and he somehow gains the ability to read minds. They really weren't trying at this point, were they? Anyhoo, this is the thirty-second entry in the Bowery Boys series. This one has the gang opening a private detective business, using Sach's newfound mental power to get mixed up with gangsters and an attractive blonde. They'd been mixed up with gangsters and blondes before without the mind-reading angle so I'm not sure why they felt it was necessary. But a lot of these movies tend to center around Sach getting a special power or ability. Also in this entry we learn that Louie apparently has a back room to his little Sweet Shop that is big enough to be used as a gym. Lazy writing is lazy. It's not great stuff but there are some laughs here and there, mostly coming from Leo Gorcey's humorous malapropisms. Even as a fan of the Bowery Boys, I will admit at this point the series was getting tired and monotonous. The Boys were boys in name only (at least one has a receding hairline) and the plots were repeating themselves movie after movie with some superficial changes. Anyway it's watchable for fans but doubtful casual viewers will like it much.
