A lighthearted, slapstick-driven comedy that uses a haunted house and gangster inheritance as scaffolding for physical humor and bumbling charm rather than genuine scares.
Two bumbling service station attendants are left as the sole beneficiaries in a gangster's will. Their trip to claim their fortune is sidetracked when they are stranded in a haunted house along with several other strangers.
