Little Tough Guy is a 1938 Universal Studios film that starred several of the Dead End Kids. Although re-release posters and the DVD release credit them as The Dead End Kids, did not go by that title in the on screen credits. It was in the follow up films that they began using the team name The Little Tough Guys, and later The Dead End Kids and Little Tough Guys. It was the first of several films and serials that Universal made using the Kids (except Leo Gorcey) whom they borrowed from Warner Bros. to begin a series of new films for their studio.
