Lost Caverns Hotel bellhop Freddie Phillips is suspected of murder. Swami Talpur tries to hypnotize Freddie into confessing, but Freddie is too stupid for the plot to work. Inspector Wellman uses Freddie to get the killer (and it isn’t the Swami).
This is a very good movie. It’s one of my favorites of Bud and Lou. They’re together on screen plenty and are funnier than ever. The scenes were Lou finds stiffs are hilarious. It’s the funniest when Lou finds one stiff and keeps trying to show Bud, but it’s never there when he gets back. Lou’s scenes with Boris Karloff are also very funny. Abbott and Costello are also trying to dispose of the bodies in many scenes, but they always come back. How? Why? This is a very good murder mystery with comedy. Lou Costello said he always wanted to make a detective mystery. I guess this is what the script writers came up with. I am very pleased and Lou probably was too. Lou Costello is great in this movie. He proves once again that he can perform well with an attractive female co-star. His scenes with Lenore Aubert are very good. He proves he could not only be a very funny guy, but a casanova with the dames like in Mexican Hayride. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello could probably have done anything, but I’m glad they turned to comedy. Just a little trivia too, Lou Costello collapsed in his dressing room after filming the steam room scene. The actor that played Sergeant Stone was also a wanted man for assault while making this movie.
