In Loose Loot, The Three Stooges subpoena attorney Icabod Slipp to collect their inheritance from their late Uncle, pursuing him to the Circle Follies Theater. This includes attorney’s office scenes from Hold That Lion.
Loose Loot (1953) starring the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard), Kenneth MacDonald
The first half of Loose Loot is virtually identical to Hold That Lion. Thankfully, the second half is entirely new — and funny. Complete with an unexpectedly zany ending!

Shemp: [to Slipp when fighting with swords] I’ll fill you full of holes like a Swiss cheese!
Shemp: [Noticing the bent point on the sword after he jabs Slipp in the buttocks with it] That guy must have iron in his blood.
Icabod Slipp: [Shemp has locked Slipp’s head through the hole of the dressing room door with a chair] Hey, get me outta here!
Shemp: Can’t you get outta there?
Icabod Slipp: How can I? Of course not!
Shemp: [laughs, to Larry] That’s all I want to know! [he and Larry start slapping Slipp’s face and pulling his nose]
Shemp: [Moe is ready to throw a vase into Slipp’s head where an apple Shemp places is on his head] Knock the apple off this gentleman’s head and win a free ride on the merry-go-round. Heave it, now. Throw it at the old…
[Moe miscalculates his throw and the vase hits Shemp’s head, instead]
Shemp: A bulls-eye in reverse. Well, applesauce!
[He mashes the apple onto Slipp’s head]
