The Plot…

The boys (Larry, Curly and Moe) are veterinarians running a pet hospital.  When a couple of con men steal one of the prize dogs, Larry, Curly and Moe have to recover it before their rich client discovers it is missing!

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Although Calling All Curs is a fairly generic Stooges’ short, it was one of Curly’s favorites because of his love of dogs.  Calling All Curs is one of the few Stooges’ shorts where the boys are successful professionals.  They’re usually out of work and struggling to get by.

Calling All Curs earns 4 of 5 stars.
