Trouble Makers is a 1948 American comedy film directed by Reginald LeBorg and starring The Bowery Boys.
Bowery Boys gang leader Slip Mahoney and another member, Sach, run a star-gazing operation on the sidewalk.
When there are no clients around, Slip and Sach use the big telescope themselves to watch the city in motion, and discover a man being strangled in a room at the El Royale Hotel, not very far from where they are standing.
The boys contact their friend within the police department, former gang member Gabe Moreno, and together they go to the hotel to investigate the matter further.
Gabe is set up during his shift, so that a crime is committed while he is talking to Slip at the hitel, unable to perform his duties as a policeman.
A chase ensues, where Moran and his goons go after the boys to retrieve the coin and stop them from telling the police.
