Plot

Buster and his wife Elsie Ames are temps sent to a house owned by a spiritualist/magician Professor Mordini (Lynton Brent), where they are to act as caretakers. Mordini leaves on a vacation and warns the couple not to let his former assistant in the house to steal his secrets. Spooky gags follow, along with a penguin on roller skates. A newlywed couple arrives (Dorothy Appleby and Don Beddoe), and the wife is fascinated by spiritualism. Mordini's vengeful former assistant Bruce Bennett breaks into the house and finds Mordini's master controls, scaring everyone out of the house at last.

gollark: Yes, that is cool.
gollark: I don't like Galacticraft, the later planets are the same as the earlier ones.
