It seems like every comedic team has to have at least one go at the "spooky old house in a dark and stormy night" genre, and this is Laurel and Hardy's turn. Unfortunately, the film is too sluggishly paced and suffers from a poor ending, though there is one good gag involving a bat and a bedsheet. I actually think the police inspector is funnier than the boys in this one! ** out of 4.
