Just terrible. It's about a mad scientist named Von Housen (Bela Lugosi) who wants world domination. He has to battle with old Mrs. Riley (Arthur Lucan) and somehow a stupid robot is thrown in.
I caught this on Saturday afternoon TV back in the 1970s. I was still in grammar school back then and (even at that young age) I found it stupid and painfully unfunny. I don't think I even smiled once. The slapstick was tired and Lucan was incredibly annoying. At one point the movie comes to a screeching halt so he/she can sing a song! The song is dreadful--enough to make you want to cut off your ears. Lugosi is the only thing that makes this bearable. He was very ill at the time (you can tell) but he gives this his all. Despite the lousy script he manages to put his lines over. Still this is a stupid and unfunny film that's best left forgotten.
