A hilarious comedy with Bob Hope and an all-star cast. Baby photographer Ronnie Jackson, on death row in San Quentin , tells reporters how he got there. Taking care of his private-eye neighbor's office, Ronnie is asked by the irresistible Baroness Montay to find the missing Baron. There follow confusing, but sinister, doings, occurring in both a gloomy mansion and a private sanitarium, with every plot twist parodying classic thriller cliches.
