Plot

Andy and his father seek shelter from a flood in an abandoned building, which in reality is a fun house, filled with such things as hidden practical jokes, a noisy merry-go-round and a dancing floor.

Notes

  • The cartoon is recognized as Lantz's first fully independent film. In early 1940, Universal Pictures, which was facing severe financial problems, decided to cut Lantz's weekly advance, forcing the producer to shut down the studio for a while. Crazy House was produced during the closure, as Lantz managed to gain full rights to the studio's characters in case Universal had been unable to keep distributing the cartoons.[1]
