Hot Ice is a good example of a bad idea. Columbia Pictures took two Three Stooges shorts from seven years earlier, added a little bit of new footage, and release it as a new film.

Philip van Zandt also tries leading Moe and Larry astray on Earth as Mr. Heller.

Bedlam in Paradise (1955) starring the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Shemp), Philip van Zandt, Vernon Dent

Bedlam in Paradise is a remake of Heavenly Daze. It’s one of the few remakes that’s superior to the original. The basic plot is the same: Shemp dreams that he’s died. Moe and Larry unwittingly having him swallow a mercury thermometer didn’t help! Not being fit for Heaven, he’s given a chance by “Uncle Mortimer” to return to Earth as a ghost and reform Moe and Larry. If he can do that, he’ll return to Heaven permanently.

Three Stooges short film Blunder Boys (1955) starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard

Synopsis of Blunder Boys

In a parody of then then-popular Dragnet series, Moe, Larry and Shemp play the role of inept detectives, who after serving in the war go to college where they are inept students studying criminology, and after graduating (with the lowest possible honors) they try to earn their positions on the police force by capturing “The Eel” – but he’s too slippery!
