Follow the Leader
Muggs and Glimpy, two East Side Kids in the army, return to their neighborhood on furlough—actually, Muggs has been honorably discharged for a physical defect, a truth he keeps to himself. Danny, another East Side kid, is in jail because a large amount of medical supplies has been stolen from the warehouse where he works. Muggs spots Spider, a new member of the gang, flashing a large amount of money, and he adopts a tough-guy persona, boasting that his discharge was dishonorable due to theft. Spider confides to Muggs that he has been aiding in the warehouse thefts and is paid for the loot by Larry, operator of a nightclub where Muggs' sister Milly is an entertainer. Fingers, Larry's henchman, kills Spider when he learns that Muggs has been brought into the operation. The police then suspect Muggs of killing Spider.
