Abbott and Costello – Going To Alaska To Find Gold. 480303

A black and white photograph of Abbott and Costello posing together. Abbott is on the left and has a slicked-back hairstyle and is looking to his right with a slight smile, while Costello on the right has a rounder face and is looking toward Abbott with a subtle grin. Both men are wearing plaid suits with shirts and ties. The background is plain, focusing attention on their expressions and attire.

Audio is a little scratchy. Lou has a bad cold, but it hasn’t stopped him from thinking of girls. The jokes cover topics including California, dancing, dating, and more. Susan Miller joins the fun for a few jokes, but she doesn’t play along with Lou’s amorous advances the way Marilyn Maxwell did.

Bud’s wife enters for some verbal abuse from Lou. A telegram for Lou calls him to join the gold fields in Alaska. First, Bud gets Lou confused over a few words related to the Alaskan wilderness.

After some travelling music, we find the guys in Alaska on their way to meet up with Lou’s uncle. Soon the guys are on the trail of gold as they ride their dog sled. One sure thing that gold attracts is girls, and Lou encounters a gold-digger. Lou also has a close encounter with a jail. Susan Miller sings, Just Around the Corner. Before Bud and Lou share a closing word.
