3 Dumb Clucks

The incarcerated Stooges receive a letter from their mother, detailing the sudden windfall of their father (portrayed by Curly Howard in a dual role). The letter describes the elder Curly's sudden affluence courtesy of an oil strike, his subsequent abandonment of their mother, and his impromptu engagement to a covetous, youthful blonde named Daisy. Prompted by filial duty and a desire to thwart the ill-fated union, the Stooges break out of prison and embark on a mission to disrupt the impending marriage. However, complications ensue as the physical resemblance between Curly and his father results in Daisy inadvertently betrothing herself to the wrong individual. Subsequently, the trio discovers that Daisy has arranged with a pair of killers to murder Curly immediately after the wedding, thus securing the elder Curly's fortune for the widowed Daisy and her criminal accomplices. After the marriage ceremony, the elder Curly belatedly arrives for his wedding, confounding the killers as their intended victim seems to be in two places at once. After Curly eludes his antagonists, the Stooges attempt to escape further peril by exiting through a window onto the rooftop, where they climb to the top of a flagpole. Their odyssey culminates in their fall onto the street below. They land on their father, knocking him unconscious, and they escort him back home. ==Cast==
