The Plot…

Larry, Curly and Moe are artists living in Paris.  When the landlord calls the police to collect overdue rent, our guys take off.  On the lam, the boys accidently sign up for the French Foreign Legion!

When their Captain is captured, Larry, Curly and Moe are sent to infiltrate the fortress.  They are to find and escape with the Captain.  If they fail, it means certain death.  What could go wrong?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

The Stooges gain entry into the fort by disguising as Santa Claus.  They would repeat this gag in Malice in the Palace (1949) with Shemp replacing Curly.  Since they are disguised as Santas, they were able to use some of the same footage!

Wee Wee Monsieur (1938) rates 5 of 5 stars.
