**SPOILERS** Things couldn't be worse for candy store owner Louie Dumbrowsky in him losing his store if he doesn't come up with $300.00 by the end of the week. It's when Louie's friends in the neighbor the Bowery Boys headed by the self confident Aloysius Terence "Slip" Mahoney get into the act that Louie's hopes in saving his candy store go from bad to worse.
Going down to the bank to get a loan to bail Louie out Slip and his bumbling friend Sach Jones run smack into a bank robbery! With Sach getting his photo taken by news photographer Cathy Smith as the robbery was in progress! Realizing that the photo if published in the newspapers would implicate Sach in the robbery Slip and his friends try to get a hold of it at Cathy's workplace. It's there where her screwball co-worker Prof. Schnackenberger is conducting his wacky experiments in nuclear physics. In all the confusion with one of Prof. Schnackenberer's experiment blowing out the side of the building the Bowery Boys lose the incriminating photo that gets published the next day with both Sach and a $1,000.00 reward for his capture dead or alive!
As all this is happening there's a subplot going on in all this shenanigans with gangster Ace Duce Baker who's gang in fact robbed the bank-that Sach is now accused of knocking off-trying to pin the bank robbery on his rival the Howard Hughes of mobsters, since no one ever saw his face, Midge Casalotti! With the not to on the ball Sach not realizing that he's a wanted man he's now in danger of being shot on sight by the police! That's in Sach being set up by Ace's men in being not only the person who robbed the bank that Ace's boys knocked off but being a member of the Casalotti Mob as well!
With Slip impersonating the invisible, in never being see in public or even private, Midge Casalotti he and his boys dressed up and talking like New York hoods crash Ace's swanky and only by invitation night club demeaning that he pay them off with 90% of the money his boys robbed from the bank that Sach was framed, by Ace & Co, for! It's later when Ace realizes that he's being had by a phony Midge Casalotti that the sparks really start to fly. That leads to the final encounter between the Bowery Boys and the Ace Baker Mob in the office where Prof. Schnackenberger conducts his both wacky and dangerous experiments.
***SPOILER*** It's in Ace's top enforcer the 6 foot five 250 pound ex-professional wrestler Moose McCall taking a swig , out of a whiskey bottle, of the professors latest experiment that in the end blows all of Aces plans to pin the tail, or bank robbery, on the donkey, Sach, to smatterings! Along with him and his gang!
P.S In the end Louie does get his $300.00, as part of the reward money that the Bowery Boys got in solving the bank robbery, to save his candy store with the Bowery Boys getting free sodas and milkshakes for as long as its in operation!
