1. ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET THE WHACKY ALIENS
As the
whacky Martians are returning home they come across a
rocket
launched years before by a crazy Earth scientist. The two crewmen are
in
suspended animation. The Martians revive them and take them with them
to
Mars. The crewmen are Abbott & Costello.
When the Martians arrive home, they find they are the only sexually
active males left, and their government orders that they be cloned, to
satisfy the needs of the millions of Martian females.
The robot medic, however, is programmed to take cells from everyone
on the ship, and clones the two humans as well as the Martians!
When the Martian government finds out, it sends out its killer robots
to destroy all the human clones and, the originals. Unfortunately for
the
robots, the Martian females have alredy fallen in love with the human
clones,
and an hilarious battle ensues in which all the robots are destroyed
and
the spaced out Martians and two humans take over Mars.
In the last scene of the movie the Martian leader is watching his
females
scatter into the city with the human clones, and stands slowly, shaking
his head and muttering, "There goes the neighborhood!"
2. SPOOKED AGAIN!
Bud
& Lou play the sons of the original Spooked
Hotel's owners.
They were raised by their mothers and didn't even know their fathers
had
owned the hotel until after they had inherited it.
They have a multitude of trouble with the ghosts, but the real hilarity
of this movie is the two children of the maid's daughter now grown up
and
working in the hotel herself, as she was widowed in the war.
The nine year old boy is the reincarnation of Colorado Grump and the
two year old girl is the reincarnation of Crystal Kate.
Lou is beginning to fall in love with the pretty maid and the children
have no liking to THIS idea, at all, and do everything in their power
to
sabotage the budding romance, much to Lou's dismay. In the end,
however,
victory is won and in the movie's conclusion the two young people now
grown
to adulthood, return to the hotel and greet Lou warmly as father.
Half a dozen brothers and sisters and their mother rush out to greet
them, also. As the scene fades Bud turns to Lou and warns him, "If you
don't stop havin' kids there'll be no more room for customers!" He then
puts his around Lou and they walk together into the hotel.

1. NOT A GHOST OF A CHANCE!
In
this latest Abbott & Costello production Abbott
plays a marriage
broker and Lou plays a desperate young man who must get married to a
descendant
of a certain family before his 21st birthday, to end a curse that has
plagued
his family for generations. He also plays the Spirits of six of the
young
man's Ancestors who go through all kinds of shennagins trying to get
their
descendant married because those who originally pronounced the curse
have
no intention of letting their foes off the hook.
They fail time and time again, as Lou is rejected by several
possibilities.
Then, they come across three young ladies who are not only interested
in
the chubby little prospect, but can't decide which one will marry him.
In an hilarious wedding scene each sister tries to get rid of the other
one and take her place.
The clock is striking twelve on the eve of the young man's 21st
birthday
when the minister finally pronounces the happy couple man and wife. On
their honeymoon a lawyer arrives to inform Lou that an earthquake has
occured
at his family's abandoned gold mine in Brazil, and the shaft has
flooded
with crude oil. He is now a multi millionaire!
As Lou runs off to tell his new wife, his Ancestors give a cheer of
glee and walk off into the clouds.
2. ALL SCREWED UP
Bud
& Lou play junk dealers who buy the art collection
of a notorious
philanthropist which he liked but everybody else thought was junk.
Lou has a nervous habit of tapping his fingers on things and doesn't
know that the carving he is tapping on the frame is actually the
controls
to the device that was left on Earth by an alien, decades ago, and was
used for transdimensional travel. At the same time, in another
dimension,
two evil criminals who look exactly like Bud & Lou are
examining the
same piece of art in their dimension, which they have just stolen from
a museum because it's extremely valuable there. The portal is
activated,
the four men trade places, and an hilarious set of circumstances take
place
as each pair tries to survive in the opposite's world, and get back to
their own.
Humphrey Bogart appears in this production as the detective in the
alternate universe who at first does not believe this fantastic tale,
but
then realizes its truth and helps get the two back to their own
universe
before their bumbling completely destroys his. In the end everyone gets
back where they belong but not without a great deal of laugh-provoking
difficulty!
3. TROUBLE IN THE DONUT'S HOLE
Bud
& Lou play two bumbling futuristic government
agents who must
find a missing government scientist, who is the only one who can save
the
world from an impending disaster. But the scientist has disappeared
exploring
an asteroid called The Donut.
When Bud & Lou's spaceship arrives they discover The Donut is,
in reality, a gigantic time machine which the scientists accidently
activated,
causing each one to be sent into a different place in the past.
Unable to tell which scientist went where, the boys must track down
all four and bring them back. In doing so, they have an hilarious set
of
adventures with Cyrano DeBergerac, the children of The Four Musketeers,
The Count of Monte Cristo, and Marie Antoinette!
The boys succeed in the nick of time, of course, and the day is saved
by using the time machine to send the spaceship that is about to hit
the
Earth, two days into the future, which causes it to miss the Earth and
then some!
The movie ends when the beautiful Musketeer's daughter comes up to
Lou and says in a cooing voice, "Didn't you promise to show me your
world?"
As she walks off, Lou looks back over his shoulder and goes, "Wooo,
wooo!"

and the descendants of the people that killed him, causing them all
kinds
of grief through the years and Bud plays the different descendants Lou
torments over the years.

hilarious
tank chase and battle across the French countryside ensues.
The weary tankers hiding from the Germans, take three whacky German

the
river where they are met by the Americans and the lone tank is caught
in
the middle of the river as the two armies battle it out.

1995
1. BATTY MAN
Bud
& Lou play the two zany scientists with the
transdimensional
machine. Though the government has strictly forbidden them to work on
it
again they cannot resist.
They open a passage into another dimension where the comic book
superheroes
actually exist, and cause several of them to be brought into our
dimension,
where they prove to be not quite so super.
They try to carry on their crime fighting pursuits in our dimension
and get into no end of trouble, from which the two zany scientists must
rescue them, until they finally return them to their own dimension,
going
there themselves, to escape the federal agents bent on locking them
away
for a good long time.
The movie ends with the federal agents blowing up the scientists'
laboratory
and saying "That's the end of that!" But one of the agents remarks,
"But
what if they can build another portal over there?"
"Don't even think of it!" the senior agent warns. "Don't even think
of it!"
2. DUMBELLS
This
is just good basic, Abbott & Costello. Lou talks
Bud into buying
a run down health spa which was once famous for the energizing elixir
it
once produced.
Bud, being an advertising executive, begins to republicize the elixir
while Lou runs the spa, itself. Absolute comic chaos ensues!
Of course there are dozens of beautiful women and handsome men for
the bumbling Lou to get into all kinds of hilarious situations.
In the end Lou discovers that why the elixer is not working like it
used to is that it was being manufactured from a different water
source.
When they tap the old water source the elixir begins to produce its old
results, and the resort returns to its former glory!
