Lou Meets His Waterloo!
5 pp · humor
Bud AbbottLou Costello

Lou Costello heads to a masquerade party in a Napoleon costume, only to run into a deranged man who's convinced he's the actual Emperor—and won't take no for an answer. As this impostor drags Lou across town from movie theaters to bakeries, each encounter somehow reinforces the madman's conviction that he's truly Napoleon, leading to increasingly chaotic situations. By the time things escalate to blowing up a condemned bridge, Lou realizes he's gotten himself into one of his classic predicaments, and the night's supposed fun has become anything but.

When Bud Abbott and Lou Costello accidentally break a cursed artifact at the museum after hours, they find themselves caught between museum thieves and the authorities in a chaotic game of cat-and-mouse through the exhibits.

Bud AbbottLou Costello

Lou Costello bursts in with big news for Bud Abbott: he's decided to leave town and start his own business, convinced he'll make a perfect boss for himself—despite Abbott's skeptical warnings about his complete lack of experience, funds, and business acumen. What unfolds when Lou puts his dubious entrepreneurial dreams into action makes for a quick, funny clash between unbridled optimism and harsh reality.

High Society

Bud AbbottLou CostelloBetty DrakeLamont LavaleerMr. Lavaleer

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello meet a heartbroken young woman named Betty Drake, who's in love with Lamont Lavaleer but faces fierce opposition from his wealthy, high-society parents. When the pair decides to help, Lou masquerades as "Count Costello" to infiltrate the Lavaleer mansion and convince the family that Betty is worthy—leading to a chaotic weekend of mistaken identities, fancy concerts, and a fox hunt that goes hilariously sideways. It's a race against the clock (and a rented suit company) as the boys try to turn snobbish aristocrats into supporters of true love.

The Soap Box Derby

Little BitFirechief HoganMr. SchmittPaul Smith

Little Bit enters the local soap box derby with a homemade contraption that draws plenty of ridicule from the other competitors, but a timely word of advice from Firechief Hogan gives him the edge he needs when the race gets underway. As Little Bit's underdog car makes its unlikely push down the track, he'll have to rely on cunning and a little help from his friend to cross the finish line ahead of the pack.

Home on the Rampage
4 pp · humor
Bud AbbottLou Costello

When Bud Abbott and Lou Costello get evicted from their apartment, Lou concocts a scheme to appeal to a landlord's sympathy by disguising Bud as an accident victim—complete with bandages and dramatic pleas about hardship. The ruse works, and they land the landlord's last available apartment, but their new home quickly proves to be a disaster zone of malfunctioning fixtures and booby traps that test their patience and destroy the place. What starts as a triumphant housing victory spirals into chaos as Murphy beds jam, showers malfunction, and the landlord's fury sends them right back out onto the street.
