Abbott and Costello
31 October 2023
Chuck Murray (Bud Abbott) and Ferdie Jones (Lou Costello) are trying to be waiters in a classy joint. Jones is not good and the boys get fired. They return to their gas station jobs where they get trapped with gangster "Moose" Mattson. After a deadly shootout, the boys inherit Moose's abandoned hotel after his unusual will. Gangsters are after them and there is hidden loot.

I've never considered Abbott as Costello's bully. In this one, I'm definitely considering it. I don't know much about Joan Davis. She does a masterful job matching Costello for each slap that sticks. This is fun Scooby-Doo adventure. The gangster plot is quirky enough to be fun. Through it all, I'm always fascinated by Costello's comedic skills.
