A spooky mansion conveniently located next door to a night club is the setting for some creepy goings on, surrounding a Southern colonel and his two daughters. Two zany comics (Olsen and Johnson) get involved in the mystery, which seemingly involves a ghostly presence but is obviously so much more. Olsen and Johnson are obviously aware of the plot's shortcomings, making references to Abbott and Costello's similar "Hold That Ghost", made three years before. Still, there's a few truly funny gags and some memorable music to hold your attention, as well as such talented character performers like Andy Devine and Walter Catlett, plus the pretty Gloria Jean and Martha O'Driscoll as well. A truly funny sequence has Olsen and Johnson's clothes being suddenly ripped off them as if being stripped by some invisible spirits as they comment on their disbelief in such goings on.
