The Mauch twins after making their debut in The Prince And The Pauper had a
brief run of popularity. But there's only so much you can do with a twin brother act other
than save money on special effects.
They got into a few B films at Warner Brothers based on Booth Tarkington's Penrod books. Billy Mauch plays Penrod Schofield who goes up in a hot air balloon and drifts off to parts unknown. When he's reported missing parents Gene and Kathleen Lockhart offer a big reward.
Which a couple of conmen Hugh O'Connell and Dick Purcell decide to cash in passing off Bobby Mauch an orphan who looks just like Penrod,
I'm sure you see more than a small resemblance to the plot of Mark Twain's The Prince And The Pauper in this film. There's no Errol Flynn to aid and assist so the Mauch twins are left to their own devices. Fortunately Penrod has a gang and a dog that are most helpful.
Nice film from Warner Brothers B picture unit.
