A couple of good moments but mostly outdated stuff. I think I like these guys, but I can never say just why. I understand the duo hoped to meet Karloff as Frankenstein but he refused. When he saw the popularity of that film he agreed to this one, probably demanding the head billing his part otherwise would not have gotten him.

The wonderful Lénore Aubert is underutilized again and while Karloff has some great scenes he's quickly dropped just when he's getting to be the best part. Bit of a flop ending but it'll do.
