For Crimin’ Out Loud (1956) starring the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard), Emil Sitka, Christine McIntyre

For Crimin’ Out Loud begins with the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard) being inept criminal forensic scientists, with slapstick coming fast and furious. Oddly, Larry is tending to stand up for himself more than usual – to no effect. A mouse and toupee do the usual “parrot in a skull bit,” and soon Councilman Goodrich (Emil Sitka) calls for their help. And that’s virtually the end of the new material for the short film. The rest is taken from Who Done It?
