Abbott & Costello Go To Mars
 

Orville, a school janitor, ends up in the back of a delivery truck driven by Lester on its way to a space agency. The two of them accidentally launch a rocket which is supposed to fly to Mars. Instead it goes to New Orleans for Mardi Gras where they see different party costumes as alien life forms. They are then forced by bank robber Mugsy and his pal Harry back into the rocket to escape local authorities. They end up flying to Venus where they find a civilization made up entirely of women.
