Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a 1953 American horror comedy film starring the comedy team of Abbott and Costello, co-starring Boris Karloff, and directed by Charles Lamont.

Inspired by the 1886 novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, the film follows the (mis)adventures of two American police officers visiting Victorian London who become involved in the hunt for a monster responsible for a series of murders.

Premise
Bud and Lou bungle their way through yet another Universal Horror, this time as a pair of Brooklyn flatfoots sequestered to foggy London at the turn of the century. The movie includes two cancan scenes (kind of), the first during a suffragette rally in Hyde Park (get it?) and the second at the Jubilee Theatre. The musical number is performed by leading lady Helen Westcott and six anonymous show girls (with only the talented Ms. Westcott actually showing her knickers).
