GHOSTS ON THE LOOSE / Monogram Pictures / 1943

Welcome to Wednesday Afternoon Oldie Moldie Bijou Theater! Flick made during WWII always curious because people thought, hey, you know, we could lose!! Then what, all these laffs por nada?

East Side Kids there for one reason, to make you forget about the troubles of the world and have a few laughs at the gang's expense, and, it woiked!!

Nice title card! Edward J. Kay get music director credit, he have a phenomenal music department credit total of 329!!! Eegah!! give us 'nother real swingin' 'earrific' earsnack with some choice dialogue to boot.

Okay, is pet Piff The Gnat' turn to be pushin' big old red 'GO' button, til the end of time, to start show rolling down hill like big boulder, no stopping it! So, strain that miniscule muscle once again, Piff... GHOSTS ON THE LOOSE!!

A little heavy on the stinkatto!

Kinda weird, Leo playing Muggs, Huntz playing Glimpy! There's 'Sunshine' Ernest Morrison, too, as Scruno...
Scruno? Glimpy?

Gang's pal getting married to Ava Gardner and they 'singing' at the wedding!

When first get married, you all happy and everything seem so... 'Perfect!'

But, then, reality come to visit, for good, and this is what happen!!

The gang go to clean up old house before honeymooners get back from honeymoon, this is the place they inherit and going to live in.
