Abbott and Costello Comedy Classics

Jack and the Beanstalk Costello nods off while babysitting a little boy and enters the story himself. He casts himself as Jack and Abbott as Dinkelpuss, the butcher who trades him five magic beans for his favorite cow, and follows Jack up the beanstalk in search of a goose that lays golden eggs. But Jack has a more noble goal: to rescue Princess Eloise, who has been kidnapped by the man-eating Giant, and bring her back down to wed Prince Arthur.
