An MGM Colortone Novelty Short.
A prospective patient takes a tour of the Lame Brain Sanitarium. It only takes a few minutes in the CRAZY HOUSE to show him that everyone, staff included, is insane.
A completely inane little film, with jokes so bad it becomes quite funny. During his short stroll, Benny Rubin meets Karl Dane, Cliff Edwards & the ubiquitous Polly Moran. Dancer Snake Hips performs a remarkable routine which proves he has no bones in his body whatsoever. And ending the film with four murders is supposed to be the biggest joke of all.
It's rough to see actor Karl Dane be subjected to humiliation & ridicule, even in fun. A comic star in silent films, his thick Danish accent would soon sabotage his talkie career and within a few years he would die a suicide.
