The Bowery Boys find themselves in another creepy, old house when a mad scientist kidnaps Satch [Hall] because of his extraordinary brain! Wha- what?
When a bad tooth gives Satch the power to predict the future, Slip [Gorcey] puts him in a sideshow in order to make some fast cash. Mad scientist, Dr. Druzik [Napier] sees first-hand Satch’s ability and decides that Satch’s brain would be perfect for a transplant into his monster [Strange]. The usual hi-jinks ensue when the Boys set out to rescue Satch.
Master Minds is a cut above the previously reviewed East End Kids/Bowery Boys movies!
