The Plot…

Larry, Curly and Moe are mistaken for three great football players when a gangster hires them for a team he’s bet big money on.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

There’s a lot of business before the Boys get to the football field.  Although the football antics are what this short is known for, there’s laughs as Larry, Curly and Moe flirt with the gangsters’ girls.  Lucy makes her only Three Stooges appearance and she’s a blonde!

Three Little Pigskins earns 4 of 5 stars.
