[[caption-width-right:325: Where's [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario]] when you need him?!]]
''A Plumbing We Will Go'' is the 46th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team Film/TheThreeStooges, released April 19, 1940.
On trial for stealing chickens from a hen house, the trio are found not guilty due to apparently insufficient evidence. However, Curly pulls out his hat and chicken feathers fly out, which he claims is merely dandruff. As they exit, they antagonize a police officer (Bud Jamison). Next, they try to catch some food at a pet store by fishing in an aquarium tank with a rod and reel. The same police officer sees them. They hide, and Curly punches a mannequin of a police officer. While repeating this for Moe and Larry, [[HelloAgainOfficer the same officer from the courtroom]] shows up, and punches Curly after he remarked that he always wanted to punch a cop. The Stooges run away and steal a plumber's van. The police officer runs after the van and gets on its trailer. Curly and Larry disconnect it, and the officer falls off. After several minutes of driving, Moe stops the car and Larry and Curly fall out. A butler approaches them and says, "HEY! I called you plumbers an hour ago!" Curly begins to explain but notices that the police officer is coming closer. They run inside with the plumber's equipment. They are told that the leak is in the basement, and they spend the rest of the short, predictably, ruining the mansion in an attempt to fix the leak.
The film is a fan favorite, highest rated on International Movie Database, and was also a personal favorite of Curly's.
