THE THREE STOOGES In "Idle Roomers" - 1944

Here's a fun episode where the boys are working as bellboys at a large hotel, where a sideshow promoter has brought in a wolf man named Lupe. And the real fun begins...

The Stooges have to wake up from their slumber when the desk calls them to take some luggage to an upstairs room.

Curly gets the chore of carrying the giant load of luggage and a crate up to the room. But the pile is too high and everything except the crate falls on Moe when Curly goes through the doorway.

Curly finally gets the crate to the room after busting his ass getting it there.

When he goes into the room, he finds sideshow promoter Mr. Leander there and he already has a bone to pick with the boys for their previous antics. He grabs his knives and starts throwing them at Curly who's standing by the door.

And, he's not kidding around!!

Mr. Leander shows his wife the poster for his new attraction and opens the door to the crate to show her what Lupe looks like. But, there's a knock on the door so he closes the crate.

The  Leaners leave because the boys have been sent to clean up the room because of the messes they made earlier. Curly thinks someone, or something, is in the crate and he unlocks the door to peek inside. But, Moe shows up to tell him to get back to cleaning.

Curly sees a radio and turns it on, and music plays as Curly sweeps the floor. Thing is, Lupe is as gentle as a lamb, until he hears music, then he goes berserk!

Moe has broken the radio over Curly's head and he can't get it off. Lupe has broken out of his cage and bonks Curly on the head repeatedly. Duke York plays Lupe.

After Lupe knocks Curly down, the radio broken to pieces, Lupe climbs out of the window. Curly looks up and thinks it's Moe that just went out the window.

The boys are back to work when they hear a woman screaming in another room, they go to her room to see what the problem is... The lady is talking to them when Lupe comes out from behind the curtain and stands behind Curly.

The lady sees Lupe standing there and cries... WOLF!! Curly thinks she's talking about him and he gets resentful about the whole thing.

But when Curly stands in front of a broken mirror and looks at Lupe (this is the first time he sees Lupe) and he tells the woman... Hey, you might have something there, I look horrible! They do the whole routine until Lupe breaks character and angrily growls at Curly.

Larry's kinda on his own a lot of the time in this one, here, he gets a taste of Lupe.

Of course Moe tells Curly to play the trombone as it should calm the wolf man down. They always have to learn the hard way.

Anyway, the ending has Lupe messing with the boys as they try and escape in the elevator.

The boys are relieved when they think they have evaded the monster for good, but, Lupe has control of up and down switch, and...

They fly into the clouds. Really good episode, love these guys the most, here at The Dungeon!
