Jitterbugs

The boys team up with a likable con man to help a pretty singer's mother who's been taken in by swindlers. The two-man Laurel and Hardy Zoot Suit Band find themselves fronting a scam for "gasoline pills" in wartime oil-short America. They are however soon on the side of the angels helping recover $10,000 for an attractive young lady whose family have themselves been swindled. —Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
