7/10
One of the better B.B.s

Warning: Spoilers
By Monogram standards, this entry is surprisingly well produced. Evidently, the navy was unaware of Monogram's true status. And Dorothy Ford is even in the huge cast line-up, although she doesn't come until the second half. Huntz Hall's performance tends to be too mechanical, although Leo Gorcey is as lively as usual. Assisted by the redoubtable Paul Harvey, Gorcey even manages to breathe some amusement into that old wheeze of eating soap. Another pleasant cast surprise (and it is, by Monogram standards, an enormous cast at that!) is Allen Jenkins, who enjoys some mirthful encounters with Huntz Hall. And whilst on the subject of credits, let's not forget "Max Adams", the alleged screenwriter. Actually the movie carries no writer at all except one for additional dialogue, namely Bert Lawrence.
