East Side Kids - Boys of The City (DVD)

Those wisecracking street-savvy East Side Kids get caught up in a mix of murder, mayhem and macabre happenings in this second adventure from the film series. Having been afforded a reprieve from the blistering summer heat of the Bowery, the kids head to the country. They unintentionally run into a caravan that includes the bribery-indicted judge, Malcolm Parker (Forrest Taylor), who is on the run from the vengeance-seeking Morey Gang. Instead of visiting their intended destination, Muggs (Leo Gorcey), Danny (Bobby Jordan) and the rest of the gang are invited to stay at the judge's manor - a spooky chamber of horrors that features hidden passageways and creepy caretaker Agnes (Minerva Urecal). When the judge is suddenly murdered, it's up to the East Siders to clear Danny's older brother Knuckles (Dave O'Brien) from the homicide charge and dodge an assortment of ghosts and goblins.
