Abbott and Costello Comics #15

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello find themselves in hot water at the beach when a lifeguard's whistle starts blowing repeatedly—and the chaos that follows tests their ability to stay out of trouble. With the lifeguard calling for help over and over, these two comedy partners have to figure out what's really going on before they make things worse. A one-page romp that proves sometimes the best way to avoid disaster is to think before you jump in.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello run a struggling detective agency when a mysterious amnesiac crashes through their skylight—calling himself Reggie—and offers a handsome reward if they can discover his true identity. The case leads them through a posh apartment building, into a bathroom full of experimental bubble soap, and face-to-face with a ruthless killer determined to steal a fortune hidden in a social register. What unfolds is a wild mix of slapstick mishaps and genuine danger as our bumbling detectives try to unravel the truth before it's too late.

Lou Costello lands a job as a male model and can't wait to show Bud Abbott the results—his picture has made it into the newspaper! There's just one catch: he's not modeling the suits or hats like he expected, but rather serving as an unfortunate example in an advertisement for Whitehall Collars that promises to fit even the largest necks.

Bud Abbott convinces his pal Lou Costello to see Dr. Syko about his crippling fear of his boss Bull Curham, the roughest roughneck on the docks. When Abbott discovers Lou's terror is actually preventing him from standing up to the bullying foreman, he hatch a scheme involving a "magical" slingshot and a fake Egyptian scroll—banking on Lou's newfound confidence to finally stand his ground. As the scheme spirals, Lou gets the chance to prove himself against Bull, with hilariously unexpected results.
