The Plot…

Our guys are pest exterminators given a chance to create publicity for a new female star.  The boys come up with the idea to fake her kidnapping.  But when she is really held for ransom, it is up to Larry, Shemp and Moe to get her back.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

I love this exchange between Larry and Moe.  Larry is about to leave the room and he wants Moe to lock the door behind him.

Larry: “Say, when I come back, I’ll give you the password.”

Moe: “Brilliant! What’ll it be?”

Larry whispers: “Open the door.”

Studio Stoops (1950) rates 4 of 5 stars.
