Director: William Beaudine

The Pitch: “Hey, let’s put the East Side Kids in with a mad scientist and an ape!”
Tagline: The Fun’s Getting FEAROCIOUS! MAD DOCTORS! HAUNTED HOUSES! GORILLAS!
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
The Bowery Boys find themselves in another creepy, old house with a mad scientist who kidnaps Satch [Hall] to place his brain in a monster ape! Wha- what?
The boys start a pest exterminating business and find themselves in a haunted house with a mad scientist looking to put Satch‘s brain in a gorilla. Guess he wants to dumb-down the monkey. The usual hi-jinks ensue when the Boys set out to rescue Satch.
It is almost as if the writers put the screenplays for Spooks Run Wild and Ghosts Run Wild in a blender.
