vampire over london (1952)

aka Old Mother Riley Meets The Vampire.
"Where is my robot, my beautiful robot."
An evil scientist (Bela Lugosi) dubbed 'the vampire' is kidnapping women in London, for no apparent reason! He also has plans to build an army of robots, and to this end kidnaps Miss Loretti (María Mercedes), the daughter of an Italian scientist. But when his first robot is mistakenly delivered to Old Mother Riley (Arthur Lucan) things get complicated.
An unfunny comedy, that lacks any form of drama, thrills or horror, but does have early outings for lots of popular female comedians, including Dora Bryan, Hattie Jacques and Dandy Nichols.
