Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe actor playing the Bowery Boy character "Chuck" was, in real life, the son of Bernard Gorcey and brother of Leo Gorcey. He appears in the credits as David Conden, but his real name is David Gorcey. This marks the second time he uses a stage name in the credits, but it's the only time "Condon" ever appears spelled with an E rather than an O.
- GoofsThe mild shadow of a boom microphone can be seen moving back and forth on the door in the dean's office as he dresses down the boys after the lab explosion.
- Quotes
Terence Aloysius 'Slip' Mahoney: [regarding Sach] Followin' his nose might be a good suggestion, but I'm sure there's a shorter way.

Featured review
74/100. Exceptionally good Bowery Boys entry. A professor bets another professor that he can can make anyone a good student, and one professor insists that he gets to pick the person. Well, you guessed it, he picked some tough subjects, the boys themselves. This is sort of a distant twist of Pygmalion. Well, Ivy University has know idea what they are in for! Sach makes a mixture in chemistry that makes him very strong, and soon enough he is on the football team. The climax football game is quite similar to that of Harold Lloyd's The Freshman. Leo Gorcey does an exceptional job butchering the English language! Very funny, great pace and the boys are at their best.
