- Synopsis:
- This uproarious musical comedy, written by comic strip artist Rube Goldberg, marked the film debut of the legendary trio who would become The Three Stooges. It's bad enough that costume shop owner Otto Schmidt (Charles Winninger) is headed for bankruptcy, but one of his creditors is also being rejected by his niece Louise (Lucile Browne). Then sparks fly when Louise is pulled from a raging fire by a courageous fireman (Ted Healy) and his zany cohorts. A hilarious routine at a costume party, a sandbag stand-off and other great bits round out this cinematic treasure which sets the tone for the Stooges' soon-to-be-classic style of comedy.
