abbott and costello meet captain kidd

Rated: NR
A rare colour outing for Bud and Lou
as they are shanghaied by pirate
Charles Laughton in his race for buried
loot with Hillary Brooke's Anne Bonney.
Slapsticking way below even their
usual standard, the boys are as much
use on the treasure hunt as a map
without an X, while Laughton
shamelessly spoofs his performance
as Captain Bligh in the 1935 version
of Mutiny on the Bounty.
