Hugh Herbert runs a construction company with the aid of Dudley Dickerson. Vernon Dent hires him to renovate a broken-down house he has just inherited, and the two of them head over. There they encounter a couple of men who have heard the rumor that a million dollars has been hidden on the place, and who decide to scare Herbert and Dickerson into leaving, using the usual Columbia comedy short program of wearing a black cloak and a dime store Hallowe'en mask.

Amidst the vast array of reused gags, there was one involving footprints that seemed, if not new to me, at least not overdone. Otherwise, it's a sad end to Herbert's career as a fine comic actor.
