Little Tough Guys In Society (11-1-1938)

Released November 1, 1938. This is the second of Universal's Dead End Kids/Little Tough Guys movies, not to be confused with Warner Brothers' Dead End Kids movies, or of course with the original "Dead End" by United Artists. Mrs. Berry, a socialite, hires a psychiatrist to care for her son Randolph. He exhibits antisocial behavior and stays bedridden all day. The doctor determines that if he was exposed to other boys of a lesser social stature he will break out of his shell and resume his place in society. They contact a place in the city and hire six underprivileged kids to come out to the country to help out. The boys who arrive are not the boys who were originally hired, but a gang of misfits (Danny, Yap, Trouble, Sailor, Monk, and Murphy) who are wanted for destroying a glass factory.
