DVD review of The Outlaws is Coming starring the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly Joe)—originally released January 1, 1965

In The Outlaws is Coming, the villainous Rance Roden plans to kill off all the buffalo and cause the then-starving American Indians (native Americans nowadays) to attack the U.S. Calvary in retaliation, thinking the Calvary to be responsible. After they destroy the U.S. Cavalry (his real enemy), Rance and his gang will take over the West. What can prevent this wanton carnage? Would you believe an Eastern magazine editor and the Three Stooges?

A Boston magazine gets wind of the buffalo slaughter and sends editor Kenneth Cabot (Adam West, a year before his fame as TV’s Batman) and his associates (Moe, Larry and Curly Joe) to Casper, Wyoming to investigate. Once there, Ken’s shooting skills (secretly aided by sharp shooter, and romantic interest, Annie Oakley) earns him the title of town sheriff. Rance has his band of bad guys called upon to have them all wiped out, but the Stooges sneak into the gang’s hideout while asleep and glue their firearms to their holsters. When Ken confronts the bad guys, the bad guys (with Stooge-like prompting from the boys) decide that a life of justice is better than crime. Meanwhile, Rance and Trigger attempt to sell firearms to the Indians, but the Stooges foil this plan by snapping a picture of them selling in the process.

One inside joke is that the various bad guys were all TV kid show hosts of the Three Stooges TV program at the time. One of them, Don Lamond, was Larry Fine’s son in law—and the director was Norman Maurer, Moe’s son-in-law.

Get the long and the short of the Three Stooges in this exciting Old West double feature, which contains one feature-length film from the ‘60s along with a classic short film from the ‘30s.

The Outlaws is Coming (1965), also known as The Three Stooges Meet the Gunslingers, is a wacky Western in which Larry, Moe and Curly-joe co-star with Adam West (TV’s “Batman"), Henry Gibson (TV’s “Laugh-In"), longtime Stooge sidekick Emil Sitka and Nancy Kovack (Frankie and Johnny). The Stooges are sent, along with an editor, by a conservationist magazine publisher on the East Coast to inversigate a gunslinger who is wiping out the buffalo population in the West in order to turn the Indians against his enemy, the U.S. Cavalry. With a little help from Annie Oakley and an unusual cache of weapons (including cream pies), they are able to dodge the posse’s bullets...and make the West safe for the wild creatures that roam its frontiers.

BONUS SHORT FILM: In Goofs and Saddles(1937), Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard are enlisted by Civil War General Muster to help save the country from a notorious cattle rustler.
