Corky of Gasoline Alley is a 1951 American comedy film directed by Edward Bernds and starring Scotty Beckett, Jimmy Lydon, and Susan Morrow.[1] It is based on the comic strip Gasoline Alley by Frank King, and is the sequel to the previous film Gasoline Alley.[2]

Plot

Elwood Martin (Gordon Jones), a brash extrovert with an aversion to work, come to live with Walt Wallet (Don Beddoe) and his wife, Phyllis (Madelon Baker). He blunders about their house, and the diner owned by Corky Wallet (Scotty Beckett) and the fix-it shop belonging to Skeezix Wallet (Jimmy Lydon), creating havoc at every stop. Corky and his kid sister, Judy Wallet (Patti Brady) decide the only way to save the Wallet family from bankruptcy and insanity is to persuade the free-loading Elwood to move on. The latter then fakes an injured back.
