Abbott & Costello play Lester & Orville, who somehow are on a top secret rocket-ship project. They accidentally launch it and wind up not going to Mars, but to Mardi Gras here on Earth(which they think is Mars). Two equally bumbling bank robbers named Mugsy & Harry force their way on board the ship, which does take off for outer space, though Venus, not Mars, which is inhabited by beautiful women who have banished the men, making these four guys both feared but welcome. Utterly inept and entirely unfunny farce is the team's worst; they look bored and indifferent the whole time, and there is no energy or point to this farrago at all. Just dreadful.
