Busy Buddies (1944)

Director:  Del Lord

Screenplay:  Del Lord, Elwood Ullman

Tagline: Laugh-leaders in the two-reel comedy field…these crazy cuckoos are busier than ever…creating more fun than ever!

The Plot…

The boys are going to lose their diner if they can’t come up with $97 by Monday.  When Moe spots a cow milking contest that pays $100 to the winner, he hatches a plan.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

For my money the funniest part of this short is Curly cooking in the diner.  The rest of the short is pretty generic stuff.  I’m not complaining.  Nyuk-Nyuk-Nyuk.

Busy Buddies earns 3 of 5 stars.
