Casey Edwards (Bud Abbott) works as a house detective and Freddie Phillips (Lou Costello) as a bellboy at Lost Caverns Resort Hotel when a murder takes place. The hotel manager (Alan Mowbray) believes Freddie is the killer and several of the guests, all of whom have shady pasts, decide to make Freddie the fall guy. Swami Taipur (Boris Karloff), an Indian fakir, tries to hypnotise Freddie into signing a full confession and killing himself but Freddie is too dumb to be hypnotised...
