My first Abbott and Costello film! Bumbling Wilbur (Costello) and straight man Chick (Abbott) are workers for a delivery company paid to take two new exhibits to the House of Horrors -- the real life Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and Frankenstein's Monster (Glenn Strange). Only very late in the piece does Chick see any evidence that Wilbur is not completely mad; much of the humour derives from farcical sequences involving movement behind one or both characters' backs.

Good fun, and charmingly "accurate", i.e. featuring the actual actors from Universal's horror stable.
