The Bowery Boys on Horseback
2 January 2022
This Mongram release has the Bowery Boys going out west to Hangman Hollow to clear Louie of an old murder charge. It seems that in his younger days Louie had found a gold mine while prospecting, but was accused of shooting his partner in the back. And, Louie had the map to find the mine tattooed on his back, or, as Slip says, "tabooed" on his back. The gang springs in to action, arriving out west decked out ten gallon hats and six guns.

Sach and Slip once again dominate most of the movie with their slapstick monkey shines. Gabriel Dell is on hand as a card sharp who Slip sends undercover as gunfighter/gambler The Klondike Kid.

Guest stars include Minerva Urecal, Russell Simpson, Chief Yowlachie, and Iron Eyes Cody.

The funniest scenes occur when the Boys head out west with their beat up jalopy tricked out like a covered wagon being pulled by a longhorn steer. And Slip's parlay with the first Indians they meet is a real hoot.

Bowery Buckaroos is a typical entry the series while it was being put out by Monogram Studios.
