The East Side Kids
Eight DVD Set!
This historic, black-and-white collection of sixteen feature films and three, twelve-episode movie serials display the East Side Kids, Dead End Kids, and Little Tough Guys in all their glory: peppy, street-smart, junior detectives with a lot of sass and brass, whether they’re smoking out ghosts, murderers, gangsters, turncoats, or undercover agents. They might carry chips on their shoulders, but when it comes to protecting the land of the brave and the free, the U.S. (and the ‘hood) can have no more devoted defenders!
