Unfortunately, Moe and Larry have signed up with the North, and Curly with the South! This is actually a ‘fortuitous circumstance’, as the property keeps being seized by first the North, then the South, and goes back and forth – with each time the Stooges switching sides, and watching over Curly (or Larry and Moe, depending) in the guardhouse.

Beer Barrel Polecats (1946) starring the Three Stooges – Moe, Larry, and Curly

Beer Barrel Polecats is set during Prohibition, when purchasing beer in the U.S.A. was illegal. But it was still legal to make your own beer for your own personal use. The Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, and Curly) in Curly’s first short film made after his initial stroke proceed to do that. And the first half of the film is quite funny, as all three of them add yeast to their batch of beer – with explosive results. They finally manage to bottle all of their beer, and all’s well. Until Curly tries to sell a bottle to an undercover police officer at black market prices. And the Stooges end up going to jail.

Three Stooges (Larry, Curly, Moe) in Monkey Businessmen

In Monkey Businessmen, the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly), after being fired for gross incompetence as electricians, decide that they need a vacation. Unfortunately, they decide to visit Mallard’s rest home, a crooked enterprise that exists to bilk their clients of every last penny. (This is Kenneth MacDonald’s first appearance in a Three Stooges short film as the con man). The Stooges soon realize this, and attempt to escape. But after being pursued, beaning the male “nurses” with weights, pretending to be surgeons (and nearly operating on Curly), being locked in a steam room (and escaping as Curly chases a shapely nurse, culminating in one of the funniest moments in Stooge history, they vanquish the bad guys, and cure a rich hypochondriac. Deciding after all that, that they need a vacation! A very funny short movie, and highly recommended.
