Bowery Boys Terrance Aloysius ‘Slip’
Mahoney and Horace Debussy ‘Sach’ Jones are hawking being able to look through a large
telescope on the sidewalk. They
see a murder committed in a room at the El Royale Hotel and it’s several blocks
away. Slip and Sach and their
Police Officer friend Gabe Moreno search the murder room and they don’t find
any evidence of a murder. They
learn “Silky” Thomas occupies the room.
Gabe receives a reprimand from Police Captain Madison for leaving his
beat. Later, in the newspaper
there is an article about the murder of Professor Prescott. Slip and Sach go to the morgue to make
sure this is the same murder victim.
They meet the professor’s daughter, Ann Prescott. They promise to find her father’s
killers. Because of Ann, Slip and Sach get jobs as
bellhops at the hotel to further investigate.
This is the first film I've watched with the Bowery Boys and I had never heard of them before? Almost everyone has a
nickname in this film. Slip is
always mixing up his words on purpose especially if they are long words. For example, instead of saying it was
his imagination, he will say imaginatation? Everyone is standing up straight in a lineup for inspection
of the bellhops for uniforms and posture.
Slip is the only one not standing straight but he has his shoulders
sagging forward and it looks like his uniform is too big? 3 ½* (I liked this movie)

Special
Note: This is the 12th
movie in a series of 48 Bowery Boys movies. There is a mistake when the vice squad raids a supposed Flower
Shop. A bunch of suspects file out
into a paddy wagon. The open door
reveal there’s no roof inside because the
whole block is a false-front movie set.
