Ghosts on the Loose is a 1943 comedy film about a group of teenagers who find themselves wrapped up in a wacky adventure. The film stars Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, and Bobby Jordan, who were a part of the popular comedy team, The East Side Kids. The film follows the adventures of Muggs McGinnis (Leo Gorcey) and his friends Danny (Bobby Jordan), Glimpy (Huntz Hall), and Scruno (Benny Bartlett). When Muggs and the boys are hired to clean a newly purchased house, they stumble upon an unexpected surprise. The house is being used by Nazi spies who are using it as a headquarters for a sabotage mission. The boys are captured by the spies and tied up, but they manage to escape before the spies execute their plan.

The group teams up with Muggs’ sister, Betty (Ava Gardner), and her fiancé, Jeff (Rick Vallin), to stop the spies and save their community from the impending threat.

As the film progresses, the group must navigate through various obstacles and challenges, including a break-in attempt, a car chase scene, and a run-in with the police. Through it all, the group remains determined to put an end to the sinister plans of the Nazi spies and prove themselves as true heroes.

Ghosts on the Loose is known for its humorous and silly moments, as well as its catchy musical numbers. The film features several classic East Side Kids routines, including their famous “Hey, Mugsy!” chant. It also includes a musical performance by the popular 1940s singing group, The Four Tones.

The film is a classic example of the zany, slapstick comedy that was popular during the 1940s. It features over-the-top performances, exaggerated physical comedy, and a healthy dose of juvenile humor. However, it also touches on some more serious themes, such as the dangers of fascism and the importance of standing up for what’s right.

Overall, Ghosts on the Loose is an entertaining and lighthearted film that will appeal to fans of classic comedy and vintage cinema. Whether you’re a fan of The East Side Kids or just enjoy a good laugh, this film is sure to entertain and delight audiences of all ages.

Ghosts on the Loose is a 1943 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 7 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0.
