Crash Goes the Hash—the Three Stooges
The Three Stooges are mistaken for reporters, and offered $100.00 for photographs of Prince Shaam of Ubeedarn, so Moe, Larry and Curly pose as servants and infiltrate the home of the widowed socialite that the prince is going to marry. The typical kitchen mayhem ensues (re-using several ideas from earlier Stooge shorts, such as having a bird flying into a cooked turkey so that it moves around). Thankfully, the boys uncover the Prince as an impostor, rescuing the socialite from being robbed.
Highlights of the short film include Moe with one arm in the ‘prince’s’ coat punching the villains, similar Shemp in Sing a Song of Six Pants. Another hilarious moment is where Moe slaps Curly, Curly slaps Moe back, Moe slaps, Curly slaps, Moe slaps, Curly slaps, Moe and Larry look at each other and finally Moe slaps Larry!
Crash Goes the Hash is available on the Three Stooges DVD collection Stooges at Work.

Trivia for Crash Goes the Hash—starring the Three Stooges (Moe, Larry Curly)
- Bud Jamison’s final Three Stooges short
- During the filming of this short, Curly Howard suffered one of his first “small strokes”. This is evident in the opening outdoor sequence in which Curly’s face looks worn and his voice sounds scratchy. However, the reason why Curly appears more lively in the follow-up sequences is because the opening outdoor sequence was filmed last. All of the other sequences were filmed on sets, prior to his early stroke.
