Abbott & Costello Double Feature - Jack And The Beanstalk Africa Screams DVD

Jack And The Beanstalk
This classic fairy tale gets the Abbott and Costello treatment, as the zany duo take on a babysitting job. Jack starts reading 'Jack and the beanstalk' to a youngster he is looking after but can't pronounce the big words. The boy soon takes over the reading duties. Jack soon falls asleep and is transported to a magical world. Jack trades his cow to the village butcher for five magic beans, and plants them in his yard at home, awaking the next day to find a giant beanstalk reaching into the skies. Jack and the Butcher climb the beanstalk in search of the hen that lays the golden eggs, and the talking harp, but along the way have to rescue the Prince and Princess from the evil giant.

Africa Screams
The celebrated comedy double act Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are on peak form in this crazy foray into the jungle. Transported from the city to the African jungle, our unlikely heroes lead an expedition in search of hidden diamonds. When bookseller Buzz cons Diana into thinking fellow bookseller Stanley knows a great deal about Africa, they are abducted and ordered by Diana to lead her and her henchmen to an African tribe. Giant apes, a cannibal tribe and an over amorous orang-utan pack more laughs into this 1949 classic.
