Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly really hit the jackpot this time, as they find themselves against an old dark house with secret panels and stuff, a (very) mad scientist, a malfunctioning robot, AND a dangerous escaped criminal! And all of this take place, you guessed it, in a dark and stormy night. For some reason, I found "The Tin Man" possibly the funniest of the Todd-Kelly shorts I've seen so far, especially when Kelly is making disgusted faces at having to drink a little "refreshment", and at the end when the robot (who IMDb reveals was played by an experienced stuntman) goes bat$#it-crazy and starts chasing everyone around. This is also one of their shortest shorts (at only 15 minutes), I think it should have run a little longer. **1/2 out of 4.
