Undaunted, Mary sets sail for Cuba with a stowaway in her trunk—wise-cracking Larry Lawrence, a radio announcer who helps Mary get to the bottom of the voodoo magic, zombies and ghosts that supposedly curse the spooky estate.

Comments

Rather lame by today's standards, but was probably very good for its time in 1940. A mild horror movie. Ofensive racist stereotypes in word and treatment of Black servant typical of 1940.
