Who Done It?

Who Done It? is a 1942 film starring the comedy team of Abbott and Costello. Chick Larkin and Mervyn Milgrim both work at the soda counter of a local radio station. Their true passion, however, is to become writers on the radio mystery show. They attend a broadcast of the radio program Murder at Midnight along with one of the writers, Jimmy Turner and the producer, Jane Little . As the show begins, the network president, Colonel J.R. Andrews , is mysteriously electrocuted. Seeing this as an opportunity to become radio writers, Chick and Mervyn impersonate detectives and attempt to solve... the crime. Meanwhile, Moran and Branningan , two real detectives, consider the 'fake' detectives to be prime suspects. A chase ensues throughout the studio and other murders are discovered, including that of Dr. Marek , Andrews' personal physician. Larkin and Milgrim flee the studio before hearing that Milgrim has apparently won $10,000 on the Wheel of Fortune radio program, for which he must return to the studio in order to claim the prize.
