Here's comedy encased in melo druma. Oakie tears into the underworld for a riot of button- popping fun. Oakie days are here again a daze of rapid-fire action comedy-melodrama.
And there's romance, with love- ly Jean Arthur, who proved her ability in such shivery pictures as "The Greene Murder Case," and both the "Dr. Fu Manchu" stories. With William Boyd, who fought Victor Salon Orchestra Gary Cooper in "The Spoilers" to a standstill, and stood George Saxophone Solo--

But the laughs are accentuated with real thrills and suspense. There's an under current of seriousness to the pic- ture which sends Oakie's fun sky- rocketing Into relief. It's hilari ous and hysteric! "The Gang, Buster" is a "Gloom Buster."
