Who Done It? (1942)

Shudder through your laughter at the gayest, goofiest manhunt since Abbott and Costello convulsed the screen!

Two dumb soda jerks dream of writing radio mysteries. When they try to pitch an idea at a radio station, they end up in the middle of a real murder when the station owner is killed during a broadcast.
