Crazy House is a 1943 comedy film starring Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson as Broadway stars who return to Universal Studios to make another movie. The mere mention of Olsen and Johnson's names evacuates the studio and terrorizes the management and personnel. Undaunted, the comedians hire an assistant director and unknown talent, and set out to make their own movie. Financed by an eccentric "angel" (Percy Kilbride), the completed feature is set to premiere when angry creditors confiscate most of the film. Olsen and Johnson keep the preview going, anyway, and their venture is a success.

Crazy House is notable for its impressive cast of supporting comedians (Percy Kilbride, Cass Daley, Shemp Howard, Edgar Kennedy, Franklin Pangborn, Billy Gilbert, Richard Lane, Andrew Tombes, Chester Clute, and Hans Conried) and guest stars under contract to Universal at the time (Allan Jones, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, Robert Paige, Leo Carrillo, Johnny Mack Brown, Andy Devine).

La comédie et le film traitent, sur un mode burlesque, des us et coutumes des milieux du spectacle, du théâtre et du cinéma. Ole (Ole Olsen) et Chic (Chic Johnson) ont entrepris de tourner un film mais le producteur impose un coscénariste, Jeff. Ce dernier est amoureux de Kitty, future très riche héritière convoitée par Woody, un jeune homme fortuné. Parallèlement, Betty, la sœur de Chic, s'est éprise d'un prétendu aristocrate russe, un soi-disant comte qui est en fait un vrai prince russe mais se fait passer pour un aventurier. Quimby, un détective, vient se mêler aux divers quiproquos et en provoquer.

Introduction : Après une première scène où nous voyons W. C. Fields déambuler sous un panneau publicitaire vantant son dernier film puis dans un pub, nous assistons à une séance de répétition très tourmentée au sein des studios "Ésotériques" impliquant Gloria Jean, la nièce de W. C. Fields et Franklin Pangborn le producteur. Ensuite, W. C. Fields vient présenter à Franklin Pangborn le scénario de son prochain film. Nous avons alors, à la lecture du scénario, un film dans le film puisque celui-ci est interprété au fur et à mesure que le producteur le découvre.

Entertainer Lon Prentice initially is keen to enlist in the US Army but is prevented from this due to his having one flat foot. After having the flat fixed, he is accepted for enlistment. Soon after basic training begins, Private Prentice informs his commanding officer that he finds most military training useless, unnecessary and beneath him. His commander orders all the men that Private Prentice is exempt from doing things he doesn't want to do, which turns the entire camp against him.
