- Summary:
- Abbott and Costello's version of the famous fairy tale, about a young boy who trades the family cow for magic beans. Jack (Lou Costello) and his "agent," Mr. Dinkel (Bud Abbott), are struggling to find work through an employment agency. They land a gig baby-sitting a troublesome boy named Donald (David Stollery). Trying to get the child to sleep, Jack reads him the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" which subsequently lulls Jack asleep, transporting him into the fantasy world of the storybook.
