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.
