One of my all time favorites.

Must See Movie...

Blistering performances.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This short subject finds The Three Stooges as partners in a tailoring business. Given who is running the business it's no wonder that they are in deep debt to the Skin&Flint Finance Corporation. The boys are going to need a windfall in order to save their shaky business.A quick thinking bank robber comes in to the store and to elude the police, poses as one of the store dummies modeling the suits the boys have made. Only The Three Stooges wouldn't notice they've got a live mannequin when they take its pants off to model for another customer who wants a suit like this. Later on they discover in the pocket the combination to a safe and the initials of the notorious robber. With the initials T.H. the guesses from Shemp and Larry are Theodore Hoosevelt and Thomas Hedison.Later on when the crooks come back they are dealt with Stooge style. Moe does find some creative uses for the pressing machine such as frying their lunch and later steam cleaning one of the crooks.This one should satisfy the inner stooge in all of us.

This was part of a 3-DVD box-set, and this disc came with the Laurel and Hardy shorts Mud & Sand, Just Ramblin' Along, Oranges and Lemons, The Tree in a Test Tube and another Three Stooges one, Brideless Groom; it also came with Malice in the Palace, and the features Atoll K(or Utopia) and Flying Deuces. At least this has one decent joke(the 200% one), amongst all the brutal violence made out to look like it is excruciatingly painful, crossing the border into pure torture here and there. That is all, however. 17 minutes, and only one piece of material that isn't based on us laughing at others being hurt(because, you know, we're not the ones getting hit, jabbed, beaten, etc.). It's called "schadenfreude" in German. The act of enjoying other people's suffering. Slapstick doesn't have to be like that(I refer you to aforementioned duo), and the only thing I can come up with to explain these is that people were tense and unhappy around this time, and seeing others have it bad, or even worse, made them feel better about themselves. Yeah. Or you could, y'know, try to solve the problems, seek out the cause of your static, unsatisfying, no-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel lives and attempt to deal with it. I recommend this solely to fans. 5/10

Moe, Larry, and Shemp use comic timing and smooth interplay with each other and with the supporting cast to make this a good comedy that gets a lot of laughs from their standard repertoire of slapstick and gag ideas. The setting in a clothing store is used well, with many of the props featuring in the slapstick routines.The story has the trio stumbling across a wanted criminal, even as they are in the midst of their own business problems. As usual, the Stooges are oblivious to most of what is going on, and yet that merely serves to make it impossible for their adversaries to outwit them. The effect is always funny, and especially so when combined with a little good slapstick.It's easily among the better of the features that have Shemp replacing Curly. The pace is good, and the story is amusingly improbable. The material is familiar, but funny nonetheless.

Another great Shemp classic that delivers tons of laughs. Even though it's not my favorite, because it seems like Shemp is attempting to steal some of Moe's style, you are still on the floor laughing from the jokes.The boys are tailors in this episode. They are in great debt and need a to find a way to pay back the IRS so they can keep their shop. When they hear about a fugitive with a pretty nifty award, they have some hopes. But seriously, what are the chances they'd catch this guy? Well, with the three stooges there, of course they'd have a good chance, only they mistake the robber for a mannequin when he is running from a cop. When the robber is in the clear and goes back home, his pants that Shemp removed for a customer are still there at the shop with a combination for a safe with lots of money in it. He decides to go back with some goons, and our stooges get into another crazy adventure not knowing what they got themselves into.9/10
