Shades of 'The Perils of Penelope Pittstop' -- Mabel Normand is the heroine of the picture, who must win the auto race, despite the villainous tricks of Dick Dastardly -- oops, I meant Charlie Chaplin, who doesn't play the little tramp here, but a generic silent movie villain.

Men in Black - the Three Stooges

Men in Black - One of the Three Stooges most famous, and funniest, short films.

This was the only Three Stooges short to be nominated for an Academy Award.
