The Plot…

Sach gets word that his long-lost great-great-grand-uncle (a British Earl no less!), is near death.  Even more surprising, Sach is named in the will!  His great-great-grand-uncle has sent Sach a first class ticket to London so they can meet.

Sach trades in his first class ticket for four economy class vouchers so Slip, and a couple of the boys can come along.  When they arrive in London, they are waaaay out of their element.  Rich proper gentlemen they are not.

Complicating matters, great-great-grand-uncle’s other relatives are ready for him to die so they can collect their share of the inheritance.  In fact the other relatives have been slowly poisoning him.  And now they plan to get rid of Sach and the boys.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

There were 48 Bowery Boys movies made between 1946 and 1958.  Loose in London is the 30th.
