Brown and Carney, a poor imitation of Abbott and Costello, travel to a Carribbean island to make good on their promise of a zombie for a nightclub opening in New York. They find Bela Lugosi making zombies out of living people, including Brown (or maybe Carney, whichever is the fat one). Well, after much ado and voodoo cliche they head back to New York with zombie in tow, but he "revives" when he sees a showgirl. Neither funny nor scary, so more or less a failure, though Lugosi hams it up enough to make for passable entertainment.
