Abbott and Costello Go to Mars

In a world where a single misstep can launch you across the cosmos, two hapless helpers find themselves catapulted from a top‑secret laboratory toward the unknown. The experiment, meant for the red planet, ends up splashing down amid the riotous chaos of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras, where glittering floats and flamboyant masks blur the line between celebration and the alien. The city’s dazzling spectacle becomes a playground for confusion, setting the stage for a comedy that treats the extraordinary as everyday mishap.

The story pivots around the unlikely partnership of the meticulous lab assistant Lester and the wide‑eyed orphan Orville, whose chemistry crackles with classic slap‑slap timing. Their earnest attempts to make sense of the pandemonium are constantly interrupted by a pair of roguish figures, the brash Mugsy and his crafty sidekick Harry, whose own brand of mischief drags the duo into a new, absurd adventure. As the rocket is coaxed back into the sky, the quartet is pulled toward an improbable destination, hinting that Earth’s revelry is merely a prelude to something far stranger.

Beyond the festive streets lies an otherworldly realm where women rule supreme and men are a curious rarity. The promise of Venus teases a civilization that has rewritten the rules of society, offering a whimsical contrast to the duo’s slap‑stick sensibilities. The film balances the bright, chaotic energy of carnival with the sleek, fantastical allure of space, inviting audiences to wonder how two bumbling travelers will navigate a universe that’s as unpredictable as their own antics.
