00:37No

00:38Now you will do as I bid you

00:42Ready, ready, pull

00:44Hey!

01:04What are you doing here?

01:06We were the new caretaker sent from the employment agency, but we're leaving

01:10It's been nice meeting you

01:12Wait a minute

01:13What's the matter with you?

01:17Martyr!

01:18Look at that head in the box

01:19And that body on the floor

01:21Don't be silly, those are just tricks

01:23I'm Professor Mordini, the magician and spiritualist

01:27Oh

01:27Come here

01:29Here we have just an ordinary dummy

01:37We were just rehearsing an act, which I'm taking on tour

01:41You sure had us fooled

01:46How do you do that?

01:47That's what my last assistant would like to know

01:49He's been snooping around, trying to learn my new tricks

01:51And that's why you're hired as caretakers

01:53Well, he'll never get in here while we're on the job

01:56Good, now you take your things upstairs

01:58Second room on the left

02:00They were scared stiff

02:07There you are, I don't blame them

02:11You got this place so rigged up with tricks

02:13I'm afraid to move around here myself

02:15Say, we've got to get moving

02:16Call Orson and let's go

02:18Orson

02:19Hey, Orson

02:20Orson

02:26Well, Orson

02:29You're getting good on those skates

02:30We'll just leave them on you

02:32And let you get good and used to them

02:34Yes, sir

02:37Add up to it, boy Orson

02:39Come on, George

02:40Get this out

02:41Remember all I've been telling you

02:50And above all

02:52No matter what happens

02:53Don't leave this house unguarded for a moment

02:55While I'm gone

02:56Yes, ma'am

02:57Well, adios

02:58See you in six weeks

03:00I wish we were leaving instead of them

03:09This place gives me the creeps

03:11Oh, don't be silly

03:12What's that?

03:17It's a pendulum

03:46And it's cute, too

03:47Sure scared the life out of me

03:56What's on your music, old jug

04:01Sounds like there's more anything than just music

04:04Come on, let's have a drink

04:05It's good

04:19Just like good old-fashioned bootleg

04:20You're right

04:33It is bootleg

04:34I feel much better now

04:37Well, stop acting so spooky

04:39Or you'll give me the gym jams

04:40Now you go on upstairs and go to sleep

04:42And I'll stay down here and guard the place

04:44Here

04:44Look, anybody comes near you

04:46You sock them over the head

04:47Now go on upstairs like a good little soldier

04:49Little soldier

04:50Not have you staring at me all night

05:13Let's go

05:23Come on

05:35Come on

05:36Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

06:06Buster, I killed a ghost, I killed a ghost.

06:13You're the ghost.

06:14I will be if you're not more careful.

06:17Oh, help me get out of this.

06:18Oh, I thought I heard you scream and I got so scared.

06:29What's that?

06:30Front door.

06:31In case of trouble, be ready.

06:36Okay.

06:46Oh, hello, little man. Is your father home?

06:50Oh, I beg your pardon. Are you all right?

06:54Oh, good evening.

06:56Oh, rice.

06:59Newlywed, I bet you.

07:00Well, I guess you're right. You see, we just got married this evening.

07:04Our car broke down a short distance from here. Could we call a garage?

07:07They're here overnight. Professor Mordini wouldn't mind, and we'll enter some things.

07:12Professor Mordini? The spiritualist? I'm the spiritualist, too.

07:18Something supernatural brought us to this house tonight. I can feel the spirits all about us.

07:25Me, too. That's what's the matter with me.

07:27Now, listen, sweetheart. Just for tonight, will you forget about spiritualism and go to sleep?

07:35Elsie, show them to the guest room while I go get my shoes.

07:38Okay, this way.

07:40You know, we're new here ourselves. Only been here a couple hours.

07:44It's awfully nice of you to let us stay here. You really have a very lovely place.

07:48So many lovely...

07:49That wasn't there a moment ago.

07:55The spirits.

07:57Great spirits of the sheet.

08:00If you are here, move.

08:04The spirits are moving.

08:07And so am I.

08:11Honey! Honey!

08:13Come here!

08:14You should see what happened just now.

08:36You should see what happened just now.

08:38Good night. Thanks for everything.

08:52Good night.

08:54I can't understand it.

08:56The spirit moved. I saw it.

08:57All right, so it moved.

08:59Now, will you please go to sleep?

09:01The spirit. It moved.

09:13Great spirit of the bed, if you are here, move again.

09:18Honey! Honey!

09:20The spirit of the bed. It moved.

09:23Now, baby, will you stop?

09:24But, honey, it did. I know it did.

09:27You just come with me.

09:29I saw it with my own eyes.

09:31Here. I'll show you.

09:34Great spirit of the bed, move.

09:41Move.

09:47Now, listen, baby.

09:48You know, honey loves his babesy-wabesy.

09:51But if Sweetie Pie doesn't stop this spirit business,

09:54honey's gonna break her neck!

09:58Double-crosser!

10:10I'm gonna stay down here with you.

10:11That's Aime with her spirits.

10:13Gives me the willies.

10:14All right, we'll...

10:15Hey, boy, hey, hey!

10:19Oh, oh, the world's coming to an end.

10:21Wait, wait, wait, wait.

10:22Control yourself. It's just the lights.

10:24We probably blew a fuse.

10:25We'll strike a match.

10:26I'm afraid of the dark.

10:28I can't. You're standing on my hand.

10:31There.

10:36I saw some candles in here.

10:38This one always used to scare the customers.

10:45Let's see if it still works.

10:58Oh, I'm gonna match here someplace.

11:00Hey, if...

11:07They got me!

11:23They got me, too.

11:32I'm scared.

11:34Light a match.

11:41This is like that other candle, too.

11:43There's someone sneaking around.

12:01I hear footsteps.

12:03It sounded like it was in here.

12:05No, I think it's from over there.

12:09What's the matter?

12:10Oh, I just had cold chills and hot flashes.

12:15Must be the flu.

12:16Oh, you poor dear.

12:18Let's get out of here.

12:20Let's get out of here.

12:23Scared, Buster.

12:33Now what's the matter?

12:34Those hot flashes again.

12:36Only hotter.

12:37Oh, this place is haunted.

12:38Well, I wish we'd never come here.

12:41Can't we leave or something?

12:43Oh!

12:44Oh!

12:45Oh, I got him, too.

12:46Hold still.

12:47It was just a gamble.

12:49Oh!

12:49Gee, thank goodness the lights are on.

13:08Mom!

13:09Oh!

13:10Oh, that's just that dummy.

13:12Here, dear.

13:13Here.

13:13Come over here and sit down and relax.

13:16Listen, you're just hysterical.

13:19Well, stop worrying.

13:20There's nothing here that'll bother us.

13:21Oh, I can't stand it much longer.

13:23I could have sworn I heard that thing wrong.

13:35Oh, don't be silly.

13:36That's just a dummy.

13:38Dummies don't walk or talk.

13:40Oh, that's just a dummy.

13:58Oh, boy.

14:01Look out for as good as he did.

14:02Don't go out.

14:03Let's go.

14:34Who's a scared of ghosts?

14:35Bring on those ghosts.

14:41Oh, I beg your pardon.

14:47Buster!

14:48Oh, my darling.

14:50Oh, Buster.

14:51He's dead.

14:52Oh, speak to me.

14:53Say a few syllables.

14:55Oh, my dear.

14:57Oh, my dear.

14:58Oh, my dear.

15:20Oh, my goodness.

15:22Oh!

15:23Oh!

15:24Oh, my goodness.

15:25What's all a commotion?

15:26What is it?

15:26What's happened?

15:26My husband.

15:27He's dead.

15:28Dead?

15:29Where is he?

15:30That's what I want to know.

15:31See, Richard?

15:32I told you there were spirits in this house.

15:35Maybe I can make the spirits bring him back.

15:37Oh, spirits again.

15:40Oh, spirits.

15:42Sweet spirits.

15:43Bring him back.

15:45Spirits.

15:46Spirits of the North.

15:47Spirits of the South.

15:49Spirits everywhere.

15:50Well, if you hear me, bring him back.

15:53Bring him back.

15:55Hey, what happened?

15:58Buster!

15:59Oh, you're all right.

16:00Honey!

16:01He's back!

16:01Yeah, so he's back.

16:03Ah!

16:06Come on.

16:07We're getting out of here.

16:08Let's get our things.

16:10Good idea.

16:13I'm fed up with the spiritualism business.

16:15First thing you know, you'll have me believing.

16:18Now, look.

16:18This don't make sense.

16:19Spirits brought me back.

16:22Simply because some screwy thing like that says move to something.

16:30Did you see what I did?

16:32Ah.

16:39You try it.

16:41Me?

16:44Move!

16:49Now, the spirits are in the spirits.

17:11Felix, look.

17:13Felix, look.

17:14We found them.

17:15These are the levers that control his new drinks.

17:17Let me try them all.

17:18We'll try them all.

17:18Let's carry these yokels out of the house.

17:19I don't understand it.

17:23First this thing falls down, then he comes in here like that and it goes...

17:27Oh!

17:37Oh!

17:48Oh!

17:53Oh.

17:53I told you that, Mr. Gerson, you never knew why.

18:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, you and Chris.

18:05I'm told.

18:07Thank you for your hospitality.

18:09Ah!

18:10Come on, get out of here!

18:11Oh.

18:23Come on, get out of here!
