The Noose Hangs High
BUD ABBOTT LOU COSTELLO in the CHOKE of the Century!
Directed by Charles Barton
Produced by Abbott & Costello Productions Inc., Eagle-Lion Films (US)
A lighthearted Abbott and Costello comedy built on slapstick, mistaken identity, and rapid-fire gags, with gangsters and gambling providing the comedic setup rather than genuine threat.
Two window washers who are mistaken by Nick Craig, a bookie, as the messengers he sent for to pick up $50,000. Now the person he sent them to sent two of his men to get the money back but they found out about it. So they try to mail to Craig but a mix up has the money sent somewhere else and the woman who got it spent it. Now Craig needs the money to pay off one of his clients.
