The Plot…

When the boys’ friend, Gladys (McIntyre) learns that she has inherited a house, they go with her to look it over.  Turns out it is a spooky old joint in a remote area.  To make it even worse, crooks along with a big, scary looking goon are using the house as a hideout.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Moe brings back a classic Stooges’ gag when he attempts to eat a bowl of clam chowder but the clam gets the best of him.

There’s a funny gag involving the cops, our guys and a lie detector.

Duke York plays Angel a big, dumb, scary-looking thug.  Love the look of this character.  And any time a monster is after our guys, it is the best.

Shivering Sherlocks (1948) rates 4 of 5 stars.
