Jalopy



JALOPY-1953-This time the Boys are involved in auto racing. For some reason a scientist (Leon Belasco) is experimenting in a lab in the back of Louie's sweet shop. In their first race with Slip (Leo Gorcey) driving, Sach (Huntz Hall) causes all the cars to crash (he goes after his lost hat). Later Sach and the scientist invent a super fuel. Of course a rival race car owner (Robert Lowery) wants the formula and sends his "moll" (Jane Easton) to get it. It doesn't help that Sach (naturally) can't remember how to make it again! 

JALOPY was directed by William Beaudine and sort of reminded me of HERE COME THE CO-EDS. Also with regulars David Gorcey (using the name David Conlon), Bennie Bartlett and Bernard Gorcey as Louie who (unfortunately) isn't given much to do in this weak Monogram entry (co-written by Tim Ryan).

Thanks for reading!
