In the asylum Lon Chaney is waiting as an actual mad scientist up to no good. He entraps Goodlittle plus the target of his affections Betty (Gertrude Olmstead). In a dark house on a dark stormy night our heroes are menaced by various creepy going on involving sliding doors and hidden passages...
So it ticks all the boxes but is just a bit too silly. Its a romp with just about enough fun to pass the time. You could think it is a parody of mad scientist and dark house films though this may well have been the original to those kinds of films.
