Mr. Muggs Rides Again

Mr. Muggs Rides Again is a 1945 film starring The East Side Kids.

Although Alice eventually recovers, her presence in the clubhouse is discovered by a policeman, who threatens to arrest the entire gang. Before they are hauled off to jail, however, Ma shows up with her niece Elsie Nancy Brinckman. Having won several races with her prize horse Storm Cloud, Ma is now solvent and able to reclaim Alice and to offer the gang jobs. Ma is anxious to enter Storm Cloud in the upcoming handicap race and agrees to enter Alice too, as a way to boost Storm Clouds enthusiasm. When Elsie, who is becoming romantically involved with Gaby against Muggss stern advice, announces she is consulting a fortune teller about the race, Muggs, Glimpy Huntz Hall, and Skinny Billy Benedict decide to follow her to the local fair. There, Glimpy dons the drunken fortunetellers disguise and offers to tell Elsies fortune. After Glimpy condemns Gaby, a former East Side Kid, as a doublecrosser, a confused Elsie runs away crying. Muggs then calls Gaby a fourflusher to his face, and later, a guiltridden Gaby announces to Davis that he is quitting. Davis, however, orders thugs Joe English Michael Owen and Mike Hanlin Forrest Taylor to kill Gaby and drug Storm Cloud, the only horse he believes is capable of beating Turnabout in the handicap. When the boys find Storm Cloud drugged and unable to race, they immediately assume Gaby is guilty.Muggs and Elsie drive to the city to confront Gaby, and on the way, Elsie reveals that Ma wants to win the race because she is terminally ill and needs money for medical and funeral expenses. By the time they arrive at Gabys, he has been shot and is on his way to the hospital. Unable to question Gaby, Muggs returns to Ma, who announces her decision not to run either horse in the race. Later, however, Ma learns that Gaby has recovered enough to talk and is willing to clear Muggs. When Davis hears the news, he sends Hanlin and English to finish the job on Gaby, and the thugs arrive at the hospital at the same time as Muggs and the gang. Th
