You are here: Three Stooges short films >Slippery Silks (1936) - the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly)

In Slippery Silks, the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard) are inept carpenters, who inadvertently destroy an expensive antique box owned by the long-suffering Vernon Dent. Running away to avoid his rightful anger, the Stooges discover that they have inherited a very fancy dress shop. Deciding to put their experience to good use, the Three Stooges design a new line of dresses, based on furniture—a hilarious visual joke that’s displayed at their first fashion show, where they have pastries available for afterwards ... of course, Vernon Dent’s wife is one of the attendees, and the very first Three Stooges pastry fight erupts. A very funny Three Stooges short film, well worth watching.
