Blondie Has Servant Trouble

Things kick off when Blondie Bumstead insists that her husband press his boss, Mr. Dithers, for a raise so she can hire a maid. But Dithers has no time for salary disputes: his construction firm is saddled with an unsaleable old mansion that is rumored to be haunted. To prove the haunting theory groundless, Dithers asks the Bumstead family to spend a night in the crumbling mansion, with a retinue of servants included in the bargain.

Weird seeing probably the most bizarre of the Blondie films I've seen thus far (I only have the first 10 of the 28 films that were made from 1938-1950), as the Bumstead family are tricked by Dagwood's boss, Mr. Dithers, into staying at a mansion rumoured to be haunted. Still enjoyable fun, that's short and sweet and doesn't outstay its welcome.
