Movie Description

AFRICA SCREAMS: Buzz Johnson (Bud Abbott) and Stanley Livingston (Lou Costello) go on an African safari in search of treasure. Buzz is a bookseller who tricks Diana Emerson (Hillary Brooke) into believing that his fellow bookseller Stanley is an expert on Africa. They are thereby abducted by Diana's henchmen who expect the two self proclaimed hunters to lead her to an African tribe. On the way there they run up against giant apes, lion tamers, and a wild river. Eventually Buzz makes his way back to the States and Stanley lucks into some diamonds and purchases the store where they both used to work. By the end, Stanley hires Buzz to operate the elevator. Charles Barton directs some great gags and funny comedy routines in this lively film. This story contains the much-loved theme of Lou being terrorized by an evil pushy woman who eventually gets so fed up with his ineptitude that she wants him dead. Look for great comic turns by Martin Wilkins as the dreaded Cannibal Chief and Shemp Howard as Gunner.


JACK AND THE BEANSTALK: The legendary comedic duo Abbott and Costello provide fairy tale fun for kids in this wacky version of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK. The pair sticks closely to the original plot, but adds to the story with their signature comic timing and slapstick humor. While babysitting a small boy, Jack (Lou Costello) falls asleep and has a wild dream in which people from the real world appear. Abott plays Mr. Dinkelpuss, the conman who tricks Jack into selling his cow for fist full of beans. Throughout Jack's adventures, there are several singing and dancing sequences.
