The boys think their days of fishing to feed themselves have come to an end, when Stan's rich uncle Ebenezer dies leaving a large estate. But they soon learn that Ebenezer was murdered and all the relatives, including Stan, are suspects.
A short black and white film from the early sound era that mixes a haunted house mood with classic slapstick. The pace is quick, and nearly every scene is built on the interplay of the two leads, who stumble through danger and misunderstandings with calm cluelessness. The gags are physical, and the suspense is only a backdrop for the next idea.
Good for you if you enjoy slapstick from the silent and early sound era and want a mystery setting that serves mainly as a playground for comedy.
