I am not sure if stepin fetchit is the person I am looking for in a movie about a comedy/ murder mystery. I know it was done in black and white, there was a black man in a fur coat, and there is a seal. it takes place in a manson on a cliff and someone has been murdered and no one is allowed to leave. if I remember correctly the black man sits in a chair and some one keeps hitting a putton and the chair flips back and the black man ends up in the water under the hosue.
can anyone help. not sure what else to do.
