So our pair are fishing by the river when Ollie reads in the newspaper of the death of the wealthy Ebenezer Laurel. Could Stan be a relative? Well they head off to the eerie mansion to see if they can claim some of the $3m estate... Once there, an huge storm adds to the suspense as we discover that, maybe, the deceased died in suspicious circumstances. It has much more of a story and less of the slapstick about it, this one - more characterisation, and characters - Frank Austin is good and spooky as the butler! Great audio too - did we ever really have thunderstorms like this?
