A detective school graduate (Jesse Block) investigates the murder of the head doctor at a sanitarium, with assistance from a simple-minded nurse (Eve Sully). Incompetence reigns, and so do the resident loons, so the murdered man comes back to solve his own murder.
Shemp Howard is one-half of a pair of deliverymen with an invisible piano.
Shemp received $40 for this bit role.
