Avis à la une
Grade: C-
The second half of this film is taken completely intact from Hold That Lion a few years earlier with them chasing character actor Kenneth MacDonald through a train to get their inheritance. Instead of being a slippery lawyer as he was in Hold That Lion, MacDonald is a gentleman burglar who convinces the passing Three Stooges he's just a man locked out of his own home and he must have picked up the wrong bag at the station.
Of course our three heroes help him break in and steal the contents of a safe and now they have to catch him lest they be put in jail. At this point Hold That Lion is now grafted into the new short subject.
The Stooges were getting old and the creative powers at Columbia Pictures were getting stale and in the later Shemp films the boys were doing a lot of this. But just because it was done before, it's still good for a laugh, the Three Stooges chasing MacDonald and being chased by a lion they free.
This is one of My favorite Three Stooges shorts with Shemp! All Appearing in this short are Vernon Dent, Kenneth MacDonald, Heinie Conklin, Dudley Dickerson, Blackie Whiteford, and Curly Howard! This one is so hilarious! Shemp has a great performance here and in My opinion its one of his best. Culry has a great cameo! There is a similar one like this called Hold That Lion and I strongly recommend both of these Three Stooges shorts!
The first half is fine for Stooge work. They are plenty dumb and have enough slapstick. The second half is recycled from Hold That Lion! Which has the late Curly Howard with hair doing a cameo. It's a little sad but it's also Curly. Any Curly is always better than no Curly.

- AnecdotesAlthough Kenneth MacDonald was called Icabod Slipp in Hold That Lion! (1947), his character in this short is a unnamed crook, so during the stock footage from "Hold That Lion," all references to Slipp are replaced with, him, he or that crook.
- GaffesIn the archive footage Larry wears a vest; he is not wearing one in the new footage (except in one shot).
