Mr. Hex is a 1946 American comedy film directed by William Beaudine and starring the comedy team of The Bowery Boys. It is the fifth film in the series. Plot
The boys are trying to raise money for their friend Gloria. She has to give up her aspiring singing career in order to stay home and take care of her sick mother. Slip comes up with the idea to hypnotize Sach into thinking he is an unbeatable fighter so that they can enter him into a contest to win $2,500. Meanwhile, Gabe brokers a deal with a crooked nightclub owner to give Gloria the big break she has been waiting for. The nightclub owner then hires a ringer to fight Sach as well as his own hypnotist to counter Slip's control over Sach in order to collect a fortune from everyone who has bet on Sach. The resulting match has Sach going back and forth from being hypnotized to being aware of reality. In the end Gabe gets shot trying to expose the crooked nightclub owner and wins Gloria's heart.
