Columbia Pictures Presents The Three Stooges - Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb - starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard - Gents without Cents - Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb - If a body meets a body - Rockin' Thru the Rockies - Phony Express - Whoops, I'm an Indian Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb is a very nice collection of six of the Three Stooges shorts, all featuring Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard. There are several gems in the collection, including the routine that the Three Stooges made world-famous, Slowly I Turned, also known as Niagra Falls.

Synopsis of Gents Without Cents: The Three Stooges are three small time actors looking for a job. They meet three girl dancers in the situation and get a small part in a big producers show at the shipyard. When the rest of the cast doesn’t show up, the Three Stooges and the girls must put on the whole show themselves. The show is a hit and the stooges marry the girls and head to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. This, of course, contains their classic Slowly I Turned routine.
Synopsis of Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb: Curly wins $50,000 in a radio contest and the Three Stooges move into the Hotel Costa Plente. Their suite is furnished with many expensive items which they systematically wreck, running up quite a bill. When they discover that, minus tax deductions, the jackpot is only $4.85 they quickly agree to marry three pretty rich widows who are also living in the hotel. The “widows” are actually gold diggers conniving to the get the jackpot money. When the girls find out what the jackpot is really worth, the boys get conked with champagne bottles.
Synopsis of Phony Express: Set in the old west, the three stooges are three tramps wanted for vagrancy. After ruining a medicine peddlers show, they arrive in Peaceful Gulch where a picture has been printed declaring them to be three famous lawmen coming to clean up the town. Assigned to guard the bank, the boys have the local gang scared at first, but when the gang learns who the stooges really are, they rob the bank. The boys go in pursuit, find the bad guy’s hideout, subdue the bandits and recover the money.
Synopsis of Rockin’ Thru the Rockies: The three stooges are frontier guides leading a minstrel show west. When hostile Indians run the horses run off they are stranded. They must contend with a snow storm and a marauding bear as well the Indians. After almost killing each other ice fishing they solve their problems by rigging up a sail on the wagon and sailing west.
Synopsis of When a Body Needs a Body: Curly learns that he is named in the will of his rich uncle, so the boys head for the uncle’s mansion to attend the reading of the will. They arrive on a dark and stormy night only to find that the lawyer has been murdered and the will and the body have disappeared. All the relatives must stay in the spooky house while the police investigate and the three stooges are given the bedroom where the uncle was murdered. After a series of misadventures with a walking skull and the uncle’s body, which keeps turning up in strange places, the three stooges unmask the butler and maid as the killers and recover the will. Then they learn that Curly has only been left sixty seven cents.
Editorial Review of When a Body Needs a Body, courtesy of Amazon.com: “If a Body Meets a Body” (1945, short number 86), however, is a great improvement. In fact, it bears more than a casual resemblance to a 1930 short, “The Laurel and Hardy Murder Case,” in which Stan comes to a spooky mansion to claim an inheritance (a role played by Curly here). Even the detective, Fred Kelsey, is the same in both shorts. It is to be noted that Curly seems to be slowing down a bit here, not so intense in his reactions to fright or Moe’s violence, not quite so surreal as usual. The reason, sadly, is that he had suffered his first stroke before filming and the effects are evident.
Synopsis of Whoops, I’m an Indian: Set in the old west, the three stooges are crooked gamblers gypping the resident of a frontier town. They are discovered and must escape into the woods. To elude the sheriff they disguise themselves as Indians. Their plan works until Curly, dressed as a squaw, is forced to marry a local tough guy. The three stooges are unmasked and wind up in the hoosegow.
