Dizzy Detectives (1943) | The Three Stooges | Moe | Larry | Curly
In Dizzy Detectives, the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry and Curly) are inept carpenters, who become inept police officers. A burglar, seemingly disguised as a gorilla, has the police chief (Stooge regular Bud Jamison) baffled, and has the head of a citizen’s league, Mr. Dill, threatening the police chief’s job. The chief, in turn, threatens the stooges, who pretend to be watchmen at Gypsom Good Antiques. Sure enough, the burglar appears—only to be revealed as a real gorilla, owned and trained by Mr. Dill himself. The typical Three Stooges fight ensues, with the boys defeating Mr. Dill and his henchmen. Curly defeats the gorilla by head-butting the creature—however, the gorilla had accidentally swallowed nitroglycerin, and blows up!
A very solid Three Stooges short film, available on the Three Stooges DVD collection Dizzy Detectives. You may also want to check out funny movie quotes from Dizzy Detectives starring the Three Stooges.
