Two country music stars, (Husky & Lansing), and their manager take shelter from a storm in the house and are menaced by a gorilla, secret panels, the crooks and a fake ghost.
The juvenile humour and the poor acting is only surpassed by the awful country music concert that takes up the last remaining 20 minutes of the film.
Not included here for any great film qualities, but as a sad reminder of the decline of good horror actors in their later years. This was Rathbone's last film, he died on July 21st 1967.
