Three Little Twirps

Moe, Curly and Larry are working for a jerk who runs a circus. They've been hired to put up posters for the show and the skinflint pays them by giving them each a ticket! Moe insists they scalp the tickets...and Curly stumbles on a LOT of tickets and begins selling them for half price. The circus owner learns that this is happening and he and his goons give chase. They hide various places such as in the bearded lady's tent and later Curly and Larry pretend to be a horse....an embarrassingly bad and unfunny bit. After the three are caught, they are offered a choice...jail or be the 'volunteers' to have a wild man throw spears at them. It all degenerates into a mostly unfunny chase and then the whole thing ends on an unfunny note.

I noticed how Harry Edwards directed this one....and he was NOT a Stooge director. So maybe this is part of the problem with the film....but the gags and props also aren't very good....and blaming him alone doesn't make sense. Regardless, you could do far better with most other Stooge shorts.
