Plot

Good Humor delivery driver Biff Jones gets in trouble with the law after being falsely connected with a $300,000 robbery of the cash safe at work, and an apparent murder. He is in love with a neighborhood gal, Margie Bellew, who lives with her younger brother Johnny. Biff and Margie, with the help of Johnny and all the kids from the neighborhood, absolve Biff by fighting and capturing the gangsters guilty of the crime.

Cast

Reception

The New York Times critic Bosley Crowther panned the film, writing "it does nothing to enhance the reputations of either the movies or a national confectioner's brand."[1] Critic Craig Butler described the film as "a surprisingly engaging little slapstick flick" with a "screenplay [that] is silly and contrived".[2] Henry MacArthur of the Washington Evening Star wrote, "a plot that makes sense is not what you want when you set out to see people clouted with custard pies", and called it "one of the wildest sessions of sustained slaptick on record"... "guided at a rising pitch by director Lloyd Bacon".[3]
