The duo eventually encounters the gorillas they were supposed to find, leading to slapstick chaos. The story concludes when the criminal is apprehended, and Costello finds his appetite restored after being so frightened by the ordeal that he couldn't eat.
When a faulty alarm clock keeps Bud Abbott and Lou Costello awake at night, they destroy it—only to discover the next morning that oversleeping has made them late for work. Lou's solution to replace the clock with something "noiseless" leads to yet another comedic mishap that leaves Bud exasperated with his partner's logic.
Justin Tyme, the world's best grocery clerk, wins a contestant ticket to the radio quiz show "Define or Find It" after eating ten boxes of Crunchy Lunchy cereal—but when he flubs the first question, he's challenged to produce three actual gorillas within 45 minutes or lose his prize. What follows is a wild scramble through the city as Justin recruits an unlikely trio: a tough street enforcer, a foreign visitor with a surprising backstory, and a real gorilla from a traveling circus, all racing against the clock to make it back to the broadcast studio.
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello visit the zoo, where Lou's enthusiasm for sporting an explorer suit quickly becomes a liability—especially when he tries to feed the animals his peculiar "nutritious" bicarb biscuits. When zoo officials mistake Lou for a professional animal expert and push him into the cage of a rare, dangerous ape that refuses to eat anything, chaos and hijinks ensue. Find out how this comedy duo's day at the zoo spirals into complete bedlam in "The Biscuit Eater!"
