No one can hold a candle to them...when it comes to uproarious...wholesome fun!
Things get under way when Blondie Bumstead demands that her husband request a raise from his boss Mr. Dithers, so that she can afford to hire a maid. But Dithers has no time for any salary disputes: his construction firm is currently stuck with an unsaleable old mansion that is rumored to be haunted. To disprove this theory, Dithers asks the Bumstead family to spend a night in the crumbling old house, throwing a retinue of servants into the bargain.

Weird seeing probably the most bizarre of the Blondie films I've seen thus far (I only have the first 10 of the 28 films that were made from 1938-1950), as the Bumstead family are tricked by Dagwood's boss, Mr. Dithers, into staying at a mansion rumoured to be haunted. Still enjoyable fun, that's short and sweet and doesn't outstay its welcome.
