The Plot…
A woman rushes into a detective’s office where janitors (Moe, Larry and Shemp) are cleaning. She mistakes the boys for detectives. She says she’s being followed. Moe, Larry and Shemp head into the hall checking in all directions. When they return to the office, the woman is gone but a note has been left behind.
The trail leads to a spooky house where the woman is being held hostage by a mad scientist, his hulking assistant, and a headless robot…
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Dopey Dicks contains all of the elements needed for a classic Stooges short. We get a spooky old mansion full of hidden passages, a mad scientist, his hulking assistant, a woman in distress and the Three Stooges. Dopey Dicks is one of the best!
Dopey Dicks earns 5 of 5 stars.
