When Bud Abbott lands Lou Costello a job as a porter at the opera house, a mix-up leads Lou to take the stage as the tenor Luigi Luigi at the opening of "Il Maesterschlager"—complete with tights, a spear, and a wig that nobody expected. As Abbott scrambles to find the real Luigi Luigi and stop the impending disaster, Lou somehow charms the audience and even impresses the notoriously stern music critic Virgil Thump. It's a wild night at the opera where nothing goes according to plan, but somehow the show must go on—whether the real star shows up or not.

Bud AbbottLou CostelloLuigi Pastrami

When Bud Abbott and Lou Costello can't pay a sky-high dinner bill at a fancy restaurant, they end up working off their debt—first as dishwashers, then as cook and head waiter when the real staff walks out. What follows is complete kitchen chaos as the pair tries to handle orders, temperamental customers (including opera star Luigi Pastrami), and each other's incompetence, all while the restaurant descends into absolute madness. By the time they think they've found a way out, they discover the owner has other plans for settling accounts.

Bud AbbottLou Costello

Bud Abbott's real estate business is desperate for a sale, so when Lou Costello inherits a fortune and wants to buy a house, Abbott sees his chance—but the properties he shows off are disasters in disguise, each one more ridiculous than the last. Watch as these two clash over what "genuine grass" construction and mosquito-infested homes really have to offer in this 1949 comedy.

Bud AbbottLou CostelloCoach RoachKuwaskewitz

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello stumble into a football game at Radium Stadium, accidentally score a touchdown, and catch the eye of Coach Roach—who recruits them both as freshmen for Indigo Tech's upcoming matchup against Thank U. As game day arrives, Costello trains hard while Abbott tags along nervously, but when the crucial moment comes and Costello finally takes the field, chaos erupts in ways neither of them could have predicted.
