Uncivil War Birds is set during the onset of the United States’ Civil War.  The Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, Curly) are living in a (unspecified) state that’s on the border between the North and the South, and after pledging their love to their girlfriends (Mary Belle, Lulu Belle, and Ringa Belle) they rush off to join the Army.  Unfortunately, Moe and Larry have signed up with the North, and Curly with the South! This is actually a ‘fortuitous circumstance’, as the property keeps being seized by first the North, then the South, and goes back and forth—with each time the Stooges switching sides, and watching over Curly (or Larry and Moe, depending) in the guardhouse.

Eventually, the Three Stooges decide to all join the Southern Army, and try to steal a map from the Northern command (currently in control of the house).  After a brief moment of Moe and Larry in blackface (which will doubtless offend some people), and after Curly having to pretend to be dead (in a very funny scene with Joe Palma, who later stood in for Shemp after Shemp’s death), the Three Stooges get away with the map, return to their southern home, and marry their sweethearts.

Civil War Birds is available on the DVD collection The Three Stooges : All the World’s a Stooge.

Funny movie quotes from Uncivil War Birds starring the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry, and Curly)

Girl: How long will it take you-all to win the war?
Moe: I reckon a week.  It takes time to win a war.
Girl: For sure?



Ringa Belle: I know you’ll be at least a colonel.
Curly: I’ll be more than a colonel - I’ll be a corporal. Good-bye!


Union Lieutenant: Forward march, you fools!
[Curly remains]
Union Lieutenant: What’s the matter with you?
Curly: I’m no fool!
Union Lieutenant: Forward march, you idiot!
Curly: [marching] That’s different.


Larry: (the Three Stooges are in Confederate uniforms) Wait a minute!  We all are union men!
Union soldier: You belong to the wrong union!


Moe: Brother, you all ejaculated a mouthful.


Union soldier: Corpse, are you dead or not?
Curly: I’m as dead as a doornail.
