Idiots Deluxe (1935)

Idiots Deluxe - Moe and Larry trap Curly with their guns

Moe is on trial for assaulting Larry and Curly with an axe. Moe relates how Larry and Curly took Moe on a hunting trip to soothe his nerves. In the woods, Larry and Curly meet a bear, and manage to knock it out — thinking that it was dead, the Stooges put the bear in the back seat of the car as a trophy to take back. On the return trip, the bear regains consciousness, throws Moe out of the back seat, assaults Larry and Curly, and crashes the car into a tree. The Judge, played by Stooge regular Vernon Dent, dismisses the charges, and Moe grabs the nearest axe and chases after Larry and Curly again.

The Three Stooges are awaiting execution for crimes that they didn’t committ. Three beautiful young sisters (Tiska, Taska and Baska) need to be married in order to gain their inheritance, and so they marry the soon-to-be-executed Moe, Larry and Curly. However, at the last minute the actual criminals confess, making the Three Stooges free men — and their wives miserable. The girls consult with their lawyer, who recommends throwing a society party, in the hopes that the Three Stooges will wreck the event, and give the girls a cause for divorce. All goes according to plan and the party degenerates into a wild pie fight, however the girls decide to keep the Three Stooges and fire the lawyer.
