In Saved by the Belle, the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry and Curly) are inept traveling salesmen, trying to sell fur coats to the natives of Valeska, a tropical country. In addition to that, things get worse when they receive a telegram ordering them to “get rid of present wardrobe” and an official misunderstands and thinks that they are going to assassinate President Ward Robey.  Soon the Stooges are facing a firing squad, with a very funny scene as they eat their “last meal” in a jail cell, but with the help of the beautiful Senorita Rita, a revolutionary, they escape (and the wall collapsing from another earthquake doesn’t hurt any).

Beautiful angel that Shemp reacts to

Heavenly Daze is a very funny, and somewhat different, Three Stooges short film.  It begins with a deceased Shemp at the gates of Heaven. He’s interviewed by his uncle Mortimer (played by Moe Howard).  Shemp’s name is not in the Lamb’s Book of Life … He is about to look for his “red pitchfork and asbestos suit” …. When Uncle Mortimer gives him a second chance … it turns out that Shemp’s cousins Moe and Larry are also in trouble, and if Shemp can return to Earth as an invisible ghost and turn them to the path of righteousness, he can return to Heaven for good.  After a run-in with a rain cloud, Shemp is on his way.
