Synopsis: Olsen and Johnson, along with their trick seal Sally, try to stage a fundraising vaudeville show in a "jinxed" theater, in order to help pretty Joan Eldredge (Howard) from losing her father's theater. However, during one of the rehearsals, a potential financier is murdered, with Sally the seal a suspect. To gain publicity for their show, Olsen and Johnson state that they will reveal the true killer's identity on opening night. However, the killer has other plans, and a hilarious chase through the dark theater ensues, along with some hilarious slapstick hijinks. Rated the funniest appearance of Olsen and Johnson together on screen.
