What happens

The Viper is a 1938 British slapstick comedy film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Claude Hulbert, Betty Lynne and Hal Walters. It was written by John Dighton and Reginald Purdell. The film was a sequel to the previous year's The Vulture, with Hulbert and Walters reprising their roles. Lesley Brook also features in both films, but in unrelated roles. Neill replaced Ralph Ince, director of The Vulture, as Ince had been killed in a road accident shortly after that film's release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
