[1] Alfie, Orvie, Scat, and Chimp, driving from New York to California, stop to help a motorist in distress, who invites them to be his house guests.

The low-budget PRC studio had produced a juvenile-delinquency feature in 1946, Gas House Kids, in direct competition with Monogram Pictures' new and popular series with The Bowery Boys.
The new Gas House Kids series was successful, but came to an abrupt halt in mid-1947, after only two installments, when PRC discontinued operations.
