East Side Kids - Let's Get Tough! {1942 - Leo Gorcey & Huntz Hall}

At the start of World War II, The East Side Kids want to help with the war effort but are turned down from joining the Army since they're not 18 years old. Stinging from their enlistment denial, the gang sees a local Asian shopkeeper and another man arguing and they become curious as to what they're up to. Later that evening, the gang returns to the shopkeeper's place, find him stabbed to death and discover that their suspicions of him being a spy were incorrect, forcing them to find his killer.



This East Side Kids movie is a departure from what you'd normally expect, due to the war with Japan. Muggs and the gang are going after this guy because he's a "Jap." Racial slurs which were acceptable at the time are used and Muggs plays a more sinister role than he does in other movies.

My max upload speed is about 30 kb/s, but it's steady and running all the time. Because of that, I can only seed one movie at a time. It usually takes about 24 hours to have a movie well-seeded so that I can move on to the next one. Please seed these movies as long as possible. Thanks to everyone who keeps these alive by seeding!
