Nuts! #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology featuring multiple humorous stories with crude slapstick and satirical humor. One story involves a character named Lazy May who gets into physical altercations with a man over painting work. Another features Scarface Joe Brown attempting a crime but getting caught by Inspector Land and police, with the criminal claiming the world is made of glass to mock law enforcement. A third story depicts a character named Rip Smirby encountering bodies at Fisher's mortuary and meeting a corpse that comes to life, discussing masculinity and smoking before attempting to use the body for criminal purposes.
In this 1954 humor tale, a movie producer named Orson Bells and his star actor Gregory Pickaxe clash while filming an African adventure epic—complete with drums, jungle creatures, and romantic drama—as Gregory tries to win the heart of Ava between takes. When real danger arrives in the form of cannibals from the surrounding jungle, the line between movie magic and actual peril gets dangerously blurred. It's a fast-paced comedy about ego, filmmaking mishaps, and what happens when a movie set becomes far too authentic for comfort.
Scarface Joe Brown, Public Enemy No. 1, plans the perfect crime with his mob while Inspector Hector closes in—but nothing goes quite the way anyone expects when a movie production, a cowboy star, and layer upon layer of disguises collide on the job. This 1954 humor romp keeps throwing wild twists at you right up to the final reveal, proving that in the criminal underworld, nobody is quite who they claim to be.
Marvin, a mad scientist, constructs a grotesque monster using parts he's collected—and decides the "classy" head of private eye Rip Smirby is exactly what he needs to infiltrate high society and carry out his scheme. When Marvin brings the creature to life and sends it into the world, the newly monstrous Rip quickly discovers that being a monster in a tuxedo doesn't guarantee smooth sailing at a fancy dinner party.
