Jack and the Beanstalk
Be happy go wacky!
Two down-on-their-luck loafers take a job babysitting, with a bedtime story of the titular tale turning into a wacky Abbott and Costello-faced musical retelling involving stolen cows, terrible giants, and the heroic boy with an opportunistic butcher in a castle above the clouds.
Directed by Jean Yarbrough · Written by Pat Costello
