Gas House Kids Go West

Gas House Kids Go West is a 1947 American comedy film directed by William Beaudine. A sequel to the 1946 film Gas House Kids, which had starred former Dead End Kids leader Billy Halop, this new film emphasized comedy and recast the gang with Our Gang alumni Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer and Tommy Bond, East Side Kids alumnus Benny Bartlett, and juvenile actors Rudy Wissler and Ray Dolciame.

Plot
The Gas House Kids of New York travel west to California after winning a basketball competition. The boys cash in their train tickets and decide to buy a used car instead, donating the money saved to charity. At a used-car lot, the shady dealer gives them a stolen car, too hot for New York, to drive cross-country to his contact in California. After depositing the car, the boys stay at a ranch manned by a gang of crooks.
