Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #2

It's only a theory

as yet...

and I have no desire

to see it in print so far.

Well, I'm home.

Watkins, you will take Miss

Edwards to the Jubilee Music Hall.

Very good, sir.

If it's all right with you, Doctor, I'll

just ride back to the Music Hall with Vicky.

If you don't mind.

Not at all.

But I understood you had a friend in

this neighborhood you wanted to see?

Well, I doubt if he'd

be home at this hour...

but I happen to have another friend

who lives near the Music Hall.

I see.

Well, after you've called on him,

I'm sure Watkins will be delighted...

to drive you all over London

to see the rest of your friends.

Good day, sir.

Giddap.

Batley!

Batley!

You didn't give the

injection. I told you to.

Yes, I know.

When I told him about my research,

he laughed at me. I had to.

No, I didn't kill him.

Mr. Hyde did.

Dr. Jekyll is a cultivated gentleman,

bound by convention, by tradition...

who, through a metamorphosis,

becomes Hyde...

a creature devoid of all good,

the embodiment of all that's evil.

I must make no more experiments

until I find the proper balance.

Either the effect of the serum

takes too long to wear off...

or it isn't long enough.

It's too dangerous.

No, I must do it again.

I've waited all these years

for her, and...

now, that newspaperman...

I hate him. I hate him.

Mr. Hyde will kill him.

Mr. Hyde will kill him.

The judge

he called me names

I said, "Drive on, James"

Jail's been home

some 47 times

Excuse me,

while I make my change.

You kissed me.

What's wrong with that?

I told you, I believe

in equal rights.

Do you think your guardian

will approve of this?

Of course.

Henry's taken care of me

ever since my father died.

He's been wonderful to me.

Anything that makes me happy

pleases him, too.

Anything that pleases you

pleases me, too.

Now, the only way we can get

back on the police force...

is to capture the monster.

Look, Slim.

What?

If all of Scotland Yard

can't catch him, how can we?

Now look here, we're apt to

find him in any dark doorway.

Hello.

You got a match, governor?

Give him a match.

Here.

Get the kisser on that guy.

Don't get excited.

Hey, look!

There's a burglar.

Come on, let's catch him.

You can catch a burglar any

night, let's get the monster.

No, let's get that burglar, and we'll

get back on the police force. Let's go!

What do you fellows want?

We're the new dance team.

Show him, Tubby.

I'll see you

in the dressing room...

as soon as

I finish the number.

All right.

Why don't you watch it

from out front?

I'd rather watch

from backstage.

Girls.

Girls?

Now listen, we're not looking for

girls. We're looking for a burglar.

Check the rest of these

rooms. I'll check backstage.

There's nobody in here.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

Slim! Slim! Slim!

Slim! Slim!

What's the matter?

The monster's inside.

The monster?

The monster's inside.

Go on inside. I'll hold the

door and keep him from escaping.

Hey, you.

Did you see a big, gruesome-looking

monster come through here?

A big guy, he had the teeth

right down to here.

Do you mean this?

That's the guy.

Slim.

There he is.

Did you take him

for the monster?

Excuse my friend,

he's a little excited.

Excited? He's balmy.

I shall call the manager.

Now listen, that burglar's

around here somewhere.

Get some clues. I know

where to look for clues.

Where do you look for clues?

In the clues closet.

In the clues closet.

Your hat's dirty. All right,

now look for the burglar.

I must be seeing things.

Slim. Slim.

Slim.

Pardon me just a minute.

What's the matter? Come on.

I got the real monster inside.

What do you mean?

He's got big eyes, big teeth,

and a lot of hair on his arms.

Possibly

one of the other actors.

No, this is the monster.

He's not acting.

You sure?

Positive.

You hold that door, and I'll

go get a club. All right. Hurry.

Come on, open that door.

Come here. That's where

he was, right there.

I know he's around here.

He's hiding here someplace.

Stand back, Slim.

Hey, Slim.

I got him, Slim. I got...

Slim.

What happened?

I thought

you was the monster.

Where is the monster?

I don't know. He's not here.

I think he's in the next room.

In there?

Yeah.

Here, I'll go and chase him out. Yeah?

Stand here, and as soon as he

comes through here, clonk him.

I'll belt him, Slim.

Wait a minute.

I'll belt him like I belted

you, my pal. Stand over here.

I beg your pardon, have you

seen a monster around here?

I see. You can't talk

with that heavy mask on.

Well, here, I'll help you

take it off.

You see, we're looking

for him for a purpose.

Now there's a reason

for...

Slim!

Slim!

What happened?

What happened?

A terrible creature

knocked us down.

It's the monster,

and I seen him.

He escaped

through the skylight.

What a story!

Let's grab him, boys.

No, you don't. Come on up the

steps. Come on, hurry up here.

There he is.

Help!

Slim!

Tubby, this is no time

to hang out laundry.

Slim!

Now hurry up before the monster gets away.

The monster, come on!

The monster! The monster?

No, you don't. Come on.

He must be around here someplace.

Maybe he's gone, I hope.

Let's split up, and we'll

each look for him. All right.

Slim, you go that way.

Good.

I'll go this way.

Tubby, do you know which way to go? Home?

No, you stay here

and look for him.

And if you find him, holler.

If I find him, I won't be

able to holler. I'm scared.

Oh, oh.

Maybe I could get down through this

here way and then get onto the street.

Slim. Slim.

Hey, Slim.

Slim.

Slim!

Hey, the monster's loose.

The monster's loose. Come on.

Come on! Come on, will you?

We can catch the monster.

Give me your hand.

Slim!

I wonder where the monster

could have disappeared to.

I wonder where Tubby

could've disappeared to.

Well, I'm going to check

with the Inspector.

You go ahead.

I'm going to search for Tubby.

Slim!

Come on, will you?

Slim!

Hey, Slim!

Tubby?

Slim.

Tubby, where are you?

Over here.

Where?

Slim, get me out.

Tubby, what're you

doing in there?

What's the matter?

Hey, listen.

Slim.

What?

The monster's here.

The monster!

Not so loud. He's here. I'll

go out and get the Inspector.

What am I gonna do?

You wait right here.

I'll go with you.

No, you don't.

Listen, look around for a

piece of rope and tie him up.

Go ahead.

Hey, Slim, I got him.

Why, you bad boy. Come on.

Hey, Slim.

Come on, I got the monster.

I got the monster. I got him.

I got him in a cage.

I got him.

Hey, Slim, I got him.

Say, Inspector,

I caught the monster.

I caught him. Hey, Slim.

What?

I caught the monster.

I don't believe it.

Come on, I'll show him to you.

Come on, Inspector, I'll show you.

Come on, I want to

show you the monster.

Dr. Jekyll!

Dr. Jekyll?

Dr. Jekyll! What'd you

do? Leave the monster out?

How did this happen?

I was passing the museum

on my way home.

The door was open, I heard a noise,

so I just came in to investigate...
