Crazy House is a 1943 comedy film starring Ole Olson and Chic Johnson as a pair of comedians who try to make a film with no budget, no story and no clue. Complications ensue when the final reel goes missing at the film's premiere. Cass Daley costars. Stooge Shemp Howard has a small role in the film. The film also features cameo appearances by Count Basie, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce (in the roles of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson), and Lon Chaney Jr. among others.
