Moe explains that he was suffering from a bad case of nerves.&nbsp; Moe&#8217;s doctor had prescribed quiet relaxation.&nbsp; And Moe was trying to rest.&nbsp; Then Larry and Curly started practicing their <em>&#8220;The Original Two-Man Quartet&#8221;<\/em> act!&nbsp; Once Moe &#8220;kindly&#8221; explained his situation, Larry and Curly wanted to help.&nbsp; So they took Moe to the woods to get away from it all.&nbsp; What could go wrong?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Idiots Deluxe<\/em> is probably my favorite Stooges short that doesn&#8217;t involve ghosts, monsters, mad scientists or gorillas.&nbsp; Surprisingly (especially considering the set-up) Moe doesn&#8217;t beat up Larry and Curly as much as usual!&nbsp; Every scene contains laughs and there&#8217;s more comic wordplay in this one than usual.&nbsp; Sadly, this was the last Stooges short made before Curly had his stroke.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-family: var(--text-font); font-size: inherit;\"><strong>Idiots Deluxe <\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: var(--text-color);
