Two bumbling Irish cops, Detective Harold Kelly (Hugh Herbert) and Detective Dempsey (Allen Jenkins), have a blowout on a stormy night and while in the midst of changing the flat are summoned to the lighthouse to prevent harm from befalling the frightened heiress Verta Vernoff (Marcia Ralston). She claims her inventor stepfather is dead in the lighthouse. He is the inventor of a radium ray, that in the wrong hands can give them power to control the world. The ray is wanted by The Octopus, the Number 1 wanted criminal, who has a $50,000 reward on his head. At the lighthouse there are a number of characters and a number of ridiculous plot turns, and it ends in a surprise. The problem is the story is not only senseless and not funny, but what’s even worse is the surprise ending; it was so dumb that it was an insult to the viewer.
