Ted Healy is featured with his Three Stooges, numbering Shemp, Moe (his stage name is Harry at this point) and Larry, no Curly in the group. A fourth stooge is played silent (a la Harpo in the Marx clan) by Fred Sanborn, who has memorably bushy eyebrows, is very short and throw in effeminate moves in his pantomime routine Sanborn even has a featured shtick playing the xylophone while he dances.
. The other three stooges do physical shtick and also provide a harmonized (barbershop quartet style) singing that is well-done and I don't recall being exploited in their later films.
It's clearly not up to the standard of the Marx Brothers classics, or even those popular RKO vehicles for the team of Wheeler & Woolsey, but it's still fun to watch and intentionally makes very little sense.
Healy is a costume attire salesman who likes to hang out at the local fire station, where the stooges work. A love triangle develops between Healy and businessman Carlson (Stanley Smith), vying for the interests of a bankrupt inventor's niece, Louise (Lucile Browne). Wedged amongst a number of comic sketches at the fire house with the stooges and the finale where they respond to a fire in which Louise is trapped in, Healy and Carlson battle one another for her loving cup.
Fox Films loved the Howards' and Fine's repertoire in "Soup to Nuts" so much the studio offered them a contract. Healy, left out of the offer, argued with the studio the three comics were under his employ. And he refused to release them. The trio split from Healy and went on their own way. Performing as 'The Three Lost Soles' and 'Howard, Fine, and Howard,' they joined the RKO vaudeville circuit, taking on Jack Walsh as their straight man. Meanwhile, Healy hired three replacements, which weren't nearly as talented as the Howards/Fine package.
Two years later, with Moe as the act's business manager, Healy, not happy with the stooges' replacements, ate crow and approached them to appear in a Jacob Shubert's theatre revue. Moe, crunching the numbers, saw Healy's financial position was strong with the Shubert contact. The three joined Healy in July 1932, only to see Shemp walk out after several rehearsals. Moe's older brother was tired of Healy's temper, drinking and abusive behavior and accepted an offer with Vitaphone Studios. Moe and Larry stuck with Healy, and convinced Moe's younger brother, Jerry, to join them. In the next year, Healy inked a movie contract with MGM, where he and the three sidekicks, including newbie Jerry, who took the stage name Curly, began to really gain the attention of a nationwide audience.
