Abbott and Costello help a distressed woman whose crate has arrived C.O.D., and they agree to deliver it to her home on Bay Street. Upon finding an old prospector's shack with a skeleton inside, Abbott becomes convinced it's a treasure map showing the location of buried gold, while Costello remains skeptical. After discovering a map in the skeleton's hand and misinterpreting its markings, the duo attempts to locate the treasure, only to have their efforts repeatedly backfire in slapstick fashion. The story culminates in a musical performance where Abbott and Costello attempt to conduct a orchestra playing "Moonlight Sonata," resulting in chaos when their conducting causes an explosion.

The Tropics
8 pp · Humor, Jungle
Bud AbbottLou CostelloThe Abunzi

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello find themselves stranded in the jungle after a windstorm sweeps away their clothes, leading them into a series of increasingly wild encounters with the Abunzi tribe. When Lou accidentally crashes down from a tree, the natives mistake him for a god—a misunderstanding that spirals into chaos involving a charging bull, improvised magic tricks, and the dubious honor of being offered wives. Between narrow escapes and close calls with the cooking pot, these two comics are in for more tropical trouble than they bargained for.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello think they're heading to the Bijou Theatre for a theatrical break—thanks to their pal Sid—but a mix-up at the tailor leaves them in Roman costume and scrambling to make their two o'clock appointment. When they finally arrive at the Bijou, Mr. Magruder has a job waiting for them, though it's probably not the glamorous stage career they imagined.

All That Glitters

Bud AbbottLou Costello

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello strike out looking for uranium and gold, but when they discover an old prospector's skeleton clutching a treasure map, they decide to follow it up a treacherous mountain to find buried riches. After a harrowing climb and a spectacular boulder that destroys an old shack, the pair uncover glittering jewels—only to find their newfound fortune isn't quite what it seems when mysterious figures arrive demanding the loot.

Rhapsody in Black and Blue

Bud AbbottLou Costello

Bud Abbott runs an orchestra and hires Lou Costello as a drummer, only to discover that his new hire is spectacularly unqualified and prone to mishaps with every instrument he touches. When Abbott reluctantly lets Costello perform in a concert that night with just two drum notes to play, chaos erupts as the frantic musician scrambles to salvage the act—with wildly comedic results.
