 Bud
Abbott and Lou Costello's "grand unifiying monster"
film and the first in their "Meet..." series, with
the two bungling buddies as Chick Young (Abbott) and Wilbur Grey
(Costello), baggage handlers saddled with the ghoulish remains
of Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange).
But once they arrive at their cargo's destination, a wax museum,
the monsters revolt-with plans to purloin and transplant Lou's
brain. An ambitious effort and chaotically comic throughout,
despite an off-camera foot injury that confined Strange to a
cast and prompted Lugosi to fill in for him in one scene.
