The Plot…

The boys go on the lam when they’re caught cheating cowboys in a saloon.  To make their escape they disguise as two Indian braves (Larry and Moe) and a maiden (Curly).  When a big, rough Frenchman takes a liking to the maiden, well, what could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Whoops, I’m an Indian is a fairly generic Stooges’ short.  I thought the funniest part was this exchange between Pierre as he carries his Indian Maiden (Curly) upstairs after they were married…

Pierre: “Now for our honeymoon! For you I have the grand surprise!”

Curly: [dressed as a Native American woman] “So do I if ya only knew it!”

That was pretty risqué for 1937!

Whoops, I’m an Indian earns 3 of 5 stars.
