East Side Kids

In this debut from the East Side Kids, the gang team up with Police Detective O'Day (Leon Ames) to help get Danny's brother, "Knuckles", off a murder charge. But they'll have to catch the real killer, a gang leader called "Mileaway" because he always seems to be "a mile away" whenever a crime is committed! O'Day has his work cut out for him, keeping the kids on the right side of the law while also fending off Mileaway's hoods. Ironically, none of the actors who made up the eventual East Side Kids gang would appear until the next film in the series.
