Junion G-Men (1940) Old Time Serial (OTS)

Episode entertainment contained in this chapter play is especially pointed in the direction of juvenile appreciation and endorsement. Staffed chiefly with adventurous adolescents, the material should be close to the cinematic heart of all youthful admirers and aspirants to the romantic vocation of "G-Men." Initial installments reveal a gang of young toughies who mix blows and insults with a crowd of more refined youngsters who have incorporated themselves into a division of "Junior G-Men." The leader of the hoodlum mob happens to be the long lost son of an inventor who at present is being held captive by a secret and subversive organization attempting to establish a terroristic and dictatorial regime. The kids become involved with falling elevators, deadly explosives and runaway cars. The miniature mobsters are portrayed by the "Dead End Kids" with supplementary smart alecky assistance from the "Little Tough Guys." Billy Halop and Huntz Hall are the chief tenement roughnecks and through their long experience with such assignments snarl and swagger with expert fashion. Kenneth Howell is the young fellow from the other side of the tracks who runs the "G-Men" prep school.
