Prior to American involvement in World War II, defense plants were humming in the war effort supplying lend-lease materials to Great Britain mainly and it was a fact of life that saboteurs, spies and fifth-columnists were active against American interests. This little film is right in the Eastside Kids mold, but it could have been a Dead End Kids/ Little Tough guys film just as easily as people from that series at Universal cross populated the Eastside Kids as well and the stories could have been interchangeable. That doesn't make it a bad picture at all. It's moves along with a good pace…
