Abbott and Costello: Lou is Hallucinating

In Lou is Hallucinating, Bud Abbott convinces his “pal” Lou Costello to make out a will. Bud hires a “lawyer” for the task—to get Lou’s $28! And then takes him to see the “professor” to have him certified crazy! The central gag revolves around a bizarre condition (from the episode Incorrigible): every time Lou tells a lie or is tempted to do something wrong, he hallucinates hearing a loud horn sound!
