Here's a fun little episode from our favorite guys, this time their rich father is dumping the Stooges' mom for a young blonde, and they must do something about it, even though they are all in prison at the time...
The prison guard tells the boys they got mail.
It's from their mom, it looks like their old man has fallen for a younger woman, and she needs her boys to escape and go stop their dad from doing what he's about to do...
Curly starts using a hacksaw on some bars and the guard wants to know what the noise is. Curly tells him, termites!
That didn't work, so Curly drills holes in the wall while Moe pretends to be shaving with an electric razor to distract the guard.
When the guard leaves, the boys crawl through the hole in the wall, and hightail it out of there to their pops' place...
In the meantime, Pops' new gal, Daisy, is there talking about their wedding plans. The main thing she wants is for him to shave off his sideburns because they make her sneeze.
Daisy leaves and the boys show up, they want to know what's up with him dumping their mom for a younger woman.
Pops puts the hurt on the boys with one good slap across their faces. He then gives them a big wad of cash and tells them to go get nice clothes for the wedding.
As it turns out, Daisy is the sister of Chopper, and with the help of their henchman, well, they plan on stealing Pops' money after the wedding!
By chance, Daisy almost runs over the boys after they come out of the clothing store, dressed in their fancy new duds. She sees Curly and thinks it's Pops, thinking he shaved off his sideburns. The boys pile into the car and it's off to Chopper's place for the wedding ceremony.
At Chopper's place, Larry and Moe mix some drinks for the occasion.
Then the boys hear chopper and his pal talk about how to get rid of Pops. Shooting him is too noisy, so they decide to throw him out a window, from the 14th floor!
Curly is trying to escape from Chopper and his pal, he runs into the room, sees the two, turns around and runs away.
Pops shows up in the elevator without his sideburns, confusing the two crooks because they just saw him run down the stairs in the opposite direction! This goes on for awhile. Curly was actually injured when the guys pushed back into the elevator, required some stitches in his scalp.
Anyway, the boys go to the patio trying to find a way out of the madhouse.
The boys decide to climb the flagpole but Chopper and his pal take the pin out of the housing that holds the pole in place, My legs get weak whenever I watch this stuff.
Chopper cuts the rope the boys are holding on to, and they plummet to the ground below!
Luckily, some awnings soften their fall and they land on their dad, and they drag him back to their mom! Odd how things can work out...
We just lost another Stooge co-star: Sharyn Moffett! In EVEN AS IOU (1942), Curly serves goat milk to Sharyn and she bleats. She also co-starred with Boris Karloff in THE BODY SNATCHER (1945). What a career! Her brother Gregory co-starred with Ro-Man in ROBOT MONSTER!
