Hugs and Mugs

Three female crooks, just "out of the clink," go to claim some stolen pearls they left at a storage bin but find out some other dopes from the Shangri-La Upholstering Co., have taken them.

The girls go over there hoping to put on the charm and steal back the pearl necklace.

They didn't realize, of course that the place is run by three imbeciles - The Stooges - so the charm part will be easy, but getting the pearls back?

Well, Shemp, Larry and Moe will always make this tough since they never know what they're into anyway but somehow always prevail in problem situations.

Hugs and Mugs finds Moe, Larry, and Shemp in the second hand furniture business and they happen to come into possession of a second hand couch where a stolen pearl necklace has been hidden. The owner failed to pay storage and the Three Stooges get the couch.

The molls of the crooks who stole the necklace go to claim the couch and find out who has the thing and then go to work on the Stooges.

What really sets this short apart from the ordinary run of Stooge comedy is the fact that the three women, Nannette Bordeaux, Christine McIntyre, Kathleen O'Malley are every bit as adept at slapstick mayhem as Moe, Larry, and Shemp are. Witness the scene with the clerk at the storage place as they get information from him. That's a small sampling of what they do to the boys.

Hugs And Mugs only proves these women would have been perfect screen wives for the Stooges.

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

This is a very funny and arguably a classic Three Stooges short with Shemp! Appearing in this short are Christine McIntyre, Kathleen O'Malley, Nanette Bordeaux, Emil Sitka, Pat Moran, Wally Rose, and Joe Palma. McIntyre and Bordeaux are excellent in this on. I recommend this Three Stooges short!

Fifi, Lily, and Ella are thieves who spent some time in jail. They had stored away a stolen pearl necklace but the storage was sold to pay back charges. The Stooges run a furniture shop and bought the necklace. The girls track them down and intend to charm the necklace out of the boys. Three thugs follow the trail to the shop.

Lily is one wise dame. I love her when she goes toe to toe with the boys. I love adding an additional element to stir the pot. It's fun. She makes this better than just your standard Stooges. Her scenes are the best of this short.
