The Plot…

The boys are repairmen who decide to drum up business by poking holes in some workers’ lunchboxes.  When the laborers catch on to the ruse, our guys run away.  Looking to ditch the irate mob, Larry, Curly and Moe take jobs working construction on the top levels of a high rise.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Curly gets the best laughs trying to walk on a greased girder.  There are also the expected chuckles when the boys try handling hot rivets.

How High Is Up? (1940) rates 4 of 5 stars.
