Abbott and Costello: Pardon My Sarong / Who Done It

Pardon My Sarong

Abbott and Costello command the South Seas in this gag-filled exotic comedy. Screwball bus drivers Algy and Wellington travel off the course from Los Angeles to join crew of playboy Tommy Layton's (Robert Paige) yacht. A hurricane detours the yacht to an enchanted island, inhabited by innocent natives and sinister Dr. Varnoff (Lionel Atwill). Mistaken for a legendary god, Wellington is betrothed to a beautiful native girl (Nan Wynn), in the hilarious "Tree of Truth" scene. Chosen to appease an angry volcano god, Wellington learns the volcano has been rigged by Varnoff ad his men who plan to collect the godlike natives' sacred jewel. Rising to the occasion, Wellington seeks to vanquish the villain with feats of unbelievable athletic agility in this delightful South Seas caper.

Who Done It?

In this slapstick comedy thriller, Abbott and Costello play would-be radio writers who finds themselves involved in a real murder during the recording of a "whodunit" play. Trying to solve the crime, they are targeted by the killer and suspected by the police. A madcap chase through the radio station features a riotous encounter with a fitful drinking fountain, a mix-up in a sound recording library, and a runaway elevator. With a strong supporting cast including Mary Wickes as a wisecracking secretary and William Bendix as a cop who's even dumber than Lou.
