Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Nothing happens in the "East Side Kids" opus Kid Dynamite that isn't repeated at least three times, just in case the audience missed the point. It all starts when Muggs (Leo Gorcey), leader of the gang, is abducted by gamblers to keep him from fighting in a high-stakes boxing match. Muggs mistakenly believes that his rival Danny (Bobby Jordan) was responsible for the kidnapping, and wages a film-long campaign to humiliate Danny in public. Having promised his mom that he won't fight Muggs, Danny is perceived to be a coward by the rest of the gang. The inevitable showdown between Muggs and Danny segues unexpectedly into an outburst of wartime patriotism for all concerned. Incidentally, Muggs' partner in the mid-film dancing contest is played by Kay Mavis, soon to become Mrs. Leo Gorcey.
