In order to win the hand of the girl he loves, a bumbling but good natured fellow must find her string of pearls which is hidden in a spooky old mansion. A group of mischievous pranksters stage some ghostly going-on for a laugh at his expense. Horse-and-buggy chills and old-timey chuckles ensue, and our humble hero gets the girl despite himself.
From film-industry outsiders THE WEISS BROTHERS, whose output was of uncommonly low quality, SPOOKY SPOOKS is a harmless enough waste of a few short minutes, interesting more for its antiquity than entertainment value. There are numerous other one-reelers of the period with the exact same premise, and all of them are better than this one.
3.5/10. The majority of silent era films are lost forever, but somehow this survives...proof that there is no order in the universe.
