    Yet another horror-comedy-mystery, this time in a hotel. Bud Abbott's character, who plays a bellhop, is accused of murder.

Lou Costello's character keeps trying to convince the investigators that the bellhop couldn't have possible committed the murders because he is too stupid. Pretty funny, not necessarily better than any of their other works, but worth a watch.

    Not their best film, but I live for the scene wherein Boris Karloff hypnotizes Lou and tries to make him commit suicide. That's comedy!
