"Audiences Shriek with Laughter And Fright At The Same Time." -The New York Times
Ghosts and gags collide in this witches' brew of laughs, with Bob Hope as a Manhattan radio commentator who finds himself marooned on an island of the walking dead!
Larry Lawrence (Hope), sought in connection with a murder he did not commit, eludes New York police by hiding in a steamer trunk. Soon the trunk (and Larry) are aboard a ship bound for Cuba, where the trunk's owner, pretty Mary Carter (Paulette Goddard), is sailing to take possession of a recent inheritance: a "haunted" castle. Sensing that Mary is in danger, Larry and his valet Alex (Willie Best) precede her to the island, which is inhabited by a ghost, a zombie and perhaps even a flesh and blood fiend. There's a romance, comedy and chills a Hope and Goddard contend with earthly and un-earthly foes - and try to keep form ending up as ghosts themselves!

Bob Hope's best - 5 out of 5 (8/12/2002)
Ghost Breakers is a hilarious movie. Hope and Goddard are at their best. The scenery is great.
Hope and Goddard go to Cuba when Goddard inherits a spooky old mansion on Black Island. They find mystery and ghosts, a witch and a zombie, and romance.
This is a fantastic movie which we have watched over and over.
