The Bowery Boys tackle a phony seance racket in Ghost Chasers. The cliched proceedings and bromidic comedy routines are enlivened by the novelty of a genuine ghost: a jovial spirit named Edgar (Lloyd Corrigan), who narrates the film. Only the dopey Sach (Huntz Hall) can see or hear Edgar, which gives Sach a leg-up as he and the other Boys investigate the crooks' operation. When Slip (Leo Gorcey) and the others are trapped by the villains in a room slowly filling with water, Edgar uses his magic chalk to rescue them. No more expensive or elaborate than any other Bowery Boys epic, Ghost Catchers nonetheless has a goofy charm that raises it above the norm.
