Bud Abbott and Lou Costello get mixed up with gangsters, gun molls and gumshoes in one of their funniest and zaniest comedies. As would-be newspaper photographers, the boys are mistakenly hired as bank robbers by hospitalized underworld gangster Sheldon Leonard. Only after the “job” is finished do Bud and Lou realize what they’ve done, so it’s off to the ice skating mecca of Sun Valley to track down Leonard and his gang before the police put the boys permanently on ice. Produced at the zenith of the comic duo’s movie career, the box office hit features songress Ginny Simms and Johnny Long and his Orchestra along with the slapstick chases and burlesque routines that made the team famous.
