Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Freddie Phillips (Lou Costello) is a hapless bellboy who is suspected of murder. His buddy Casey Edwards (Bud Abbott) works to clear his friend.

Kitty Cameo: The pair decide to pretend that Freddie has an incriminating handkerchief to draw out the killer. Instead Freddie becomes a target of the murderer and several attempts are made on his life. At one point a flower pot falls from above and barely misses him. Freddie is sure it is another murder attempt, but Casey points out it was just a tabby cat who knocked the pot over.

Final Mewsings: How do they know the cat didn’t do it on purpose?

Many thanks to Ted Davis for letting us know about the cat in this film!
