Output (English): A liveaction host Robert Emmett OConnor opens with a disclaimer about the nature of the cartoon, namely, that the short is meant to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that crime does not pay. The story begins on a dark and stormy night as the victim voiced by Kent Rogers doing an impression of Richard Haydn, presumably the master of the very large Gruesome Gables mansion, is reading a book based on the cartoon hes in. Frightened, he muses that, according to the book, he is about to be bumped off. Someone throws a dagger with a letter attached, telling the master that he will die at 11:30. When he objects, another letter informs him that the time has been moved to midnight. True to form, on the final stroke of midnight a mysterious killer in a heavy black cloak and hood shoots him dead with a rather large pistol how dead he is, though, is a matter of question, and a police officer voiced by Billy Bletcher, modeled on characters portrayed in film by Fred Kelsey immediately begins to investigate. After investigating the premises and the staff, the officer gives a lengthy chase to the real killer, finding the mansion to be filled with many surreal pitfalls, strange characters—including a red skeleton, a parody of Red Skelton—and booby traps that slow and obstruct him. He eventually traps the killer and unmasks him, revealing him to be the openingsequence host, who confesses I dood it—one of Skeltons catchphrases—before bursting into tears.
