Abbott and Costello Meet the Keystone Kops (1955)

Synopsis [mild spoilers]: Willie inherits from his aunt and is persuaded by Harry to invest in a film studio. They are conned: the studio in the photo belongs to Edison. They hear that the crook moved to Hollywood, so there they go. They are hired as stuntmen in a movie directed by the very guy who swindled them.

Appraisal: Watchable comedy; the humor is formulaic yet provides a certain level of entertainment.

Rating: 36
