As if the Bowery Boys didn't create enough havoc on the streets of New York, they bring their brand of merry mayhem to London when Sach (Huntz Hall) discovers that he's an heir to the fortune of the British Earl of Walsingham. With his pals and Sweet Shop owner Louie (Bernard Gorcey) in tow, the boys head on over across the pond to make Sach's claim.
You know, if you think about it, the inept family members of the Earl (Walter Kingsford) could have prevented Sach from becoming principal heir if they only did their homework ahead of time and prevented the solicitor from ever making it to America. I guess then we wouldn't have had a story, or get to see them even more inept when their plans of taking out the Earl and the Boys goes down the tubes.
With Slip's (Leo Gorcey) malapropisms kept to a minimum, Sach takes up the slack with his dazzling display of British history and knowledge of London's landmarks. A quick flashback instructs how one of his ancestors wound up banished to the Colonies in the first place, so at least there was that one non-sensical bit attempting to establish his English heritage.
Well, with Lady Marcia (Angela Greene) failing to foil Sach's favor with the Earl, and the inept family assassins dropping like flies, the Boys might have been successfully transplanted to the English version of the Bowery, whatever that might have been. But just in the nick of time, Scotland Yard arrives on the scene to make the save, though it all turns out for naught. Seems that the wrong Horace Debussy Jones was contacted as a relative to the Earl. You mean there were two of them?
