Die Lachbombe (1954)
Der Bauchredner Jerry hat wieder einmal seine Freundin verloren. Denn immer dann, wenn es um das Thema Hochzeit geht, werden seine Puppen eifersüchtig und zeigen ihren eigenen Willen. Aus Wut macht er die beiden – Clarence and Terrence – kaputt. Nun müssen sie repariert werden. Der Puppendoktor, der weiss, dass Jerry demnächst nach Europa reist, will die Gelegenheit nutzen um die Puppen als geheimes Versteck für eine Botschaft zu nutzen, die er einem Spionagering zukommen lassen will. Bald darauf sind zwei Geheimorganisationen und die Polizei hinter Jerry her...
Die Regisseur: Melvin Frank, Norman Panama.
