Rating: - One of My Favorite A&C's
Along with A&C Meet Frankenstein and The Time of Their Lives, this is one of my favorite A&C films. Don Porter is great as the villian. One of the first films where Costello and a cop are constantly fighting (pre-Mike the cop).
Some of the classic routines : Operator give me Alexander 2222 and Volts are Watt?
