Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 7/7/51

Shemp has been suffering from hallucinations, but Moe and Larry cannot afford to keep in the mental hospital and are forced to treat him at home. Shemp also announces his plans to marry Nora, a nurse at the complex, whom he imagines to be a beautiful woman (although she's actually quite ugly).

Lunatic Shemp is about to marry ugly Nora, but this is interrupted when the Stooges pick a fight with Nora's father on the wedding day.

One of the all-time greats. Shemp is off the wall as a goofball who imagines an obese nurse with a face that would stop a clock is a starlet. Babe London is great in her only Stooges appearance. His hypnotism and piano lessons both exhibit his talent as a verbal and physical comic. Moe and Larry both get involved in the action sequences such as the sleeping pill and the fight with Vernon Dent in the phone booth. Although thet fight is taken scene for scene from Laurel and Hardy's "Our Relations", it's much funnier here. The wedding finale is hilarious. One of the best, but somewhat rare.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- The fight in the phonebooth scene between the Stooges and Vernon Dent is almost identical to a scene with Laurel & Hardy and Arthur Housman in the movie Our Relations (1936).
