Damon Runyon like yarn with the wealthy coming to bat for the downtrodden at the very end.
A just released Leo Gorcey, acting like Brooklyn all the way, comes upon Virginia Wiedler and her father. The latter has had his music stolen from him while he had been imprisoned. The gang has to find a way to turn the tables on the crooked theatrical producer.
Playing his usual gangster self, Sheldon Leonard provides help for the group in order to get out of his own predicament.
The highlight of the film is when the theater patrons are kidnapped so that they can see the group put on the show with the stolen music. As a society matron, Margaret Dumont provides hilarity. Just too bad that she, Leonard and Connie Gilchrist, as a social worker aren't used more.
Very entertaining music with that patriotic ending just great.
