The film is one of the four Stooge shorts in the PublicDomain. You probably know it best from its appearance on Lance's TV in ''Film/PulpFiction'' ("Hold hands you lovebirds!"). Its plot is also quite similar to the Buster Keaton film ''Film/SevenChances''.

Voice instructor Shemp is informed that his uncle has died and left him an inheritance of $500,000. However, [[OnOneCondition there's a catch]]: In order to collect the money, Shemp has to either be married or get married within 48 hours after the reading of the will. With only 7 hours remaining, The Stooges scramble to find a wife for Shemp to no avail, eventually settling for one of Shemp's students, a homely woman with a terrible singing voice who Shemp dislikes but reluctantly agrees to marry. However, the wedding ceremony is crashed by a gang of women who hear about Shemp's inheritance.

''Brideless Groom'' is the 101st short subject starring American slapstick comedy team Film/TheThreeStooges, released September 11, 1947.
Voice instructor Shemp is informed that his uncle has died and left him an inheritance of $500,000. However, [[OnOneCondition there's a catch]]: In order to collect the money, Shemp has to either be married or get married within 48 hours after the reading of the will. With only 7 hours remaining, The Stooges scramble to find a wife for Shemp to no avail, eventually settling for one of Shemp's students, a homely woman with a terrible singing voice who Shemp dislikes but reluctantly agrees to marry. However, the wedding ceremony is crashed by a gang of women who hear about Shemp's inheritance.
The film is one of the four Stooge shorts in the PublicDomain. Its plot is quite similar to the Buster Keaton film ''Film/SevenChances''.
!!Tropes:
* CatchPhrase: The Justice of the Peace has one: "Hold hands, you lovebirds!" It was also somewhat of a catch phrase for his actor, Emil Sitka, who would often be invited at weddings to say it.
* DreadfulMusician: Miss Dinkelmeyer's extremely cringe-worthy singing voice.
* FaintInShock: Shemp dramatically faints into a chair when he hears the terms behind his inheritance. It's Parodied in that he makes sure that the chair is there first and immediately snaps out of it when Moe mentions a catch to the terms of the will.
* GoldDigger: The ladies who crash the wedding ceremony are the same that rejected Shemp when he phoned them. Of course, now that they know about the inheritance, they're much more interested in marrying him.
* LastSecondWordSwap: After Shemp gets hit by the door Moe opens.
-->'''Shemp:''' ''(turns angrily after getting hit by the door)'' I oughta--\\
'''Moe:''' You oughta ''what''?\\
'''Shemp:''' I oughta be a little more careful!
* MistakenForGay: Moe gets so happy after it seems like they've succeeded in getting Shemp hitched that he kisses Larry. A random person walking down the hall as it happens gives them a very disturbed look, and Moe promptly slaps Larry. This was rather daring in those days.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: At the end of the short, when Shemp realizes he's now married to Fannie Dinklemeyer, he tries to run away screaming "HELP!" as the other Stooges grab at him.
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead:
-->'''Moe:''' Do you remember your Uncle Caleb?
-->'''Shemp:''' Do I? Why, that old tightwad, he'd steal flies from a blind spider!
-->'''Moe:''' But Shemp, he's...
-->'''Shemp:''' He's a louse and a weasel!
-->'''Moe:''' Yeah? Well, he just died and left you five hundred thousand bucks!
-->'''Shemp:''' Just like that old skinflint. ''(suddenly overcome with shock)'' '''Five hundred thousand bucks?!''' ''(whines, on the verge of tears)'' Poor old Uncle Caleb... like I was saying, he was a swell guy! He'd give you the shirt off his back and throw in the buttons, too!
** If you look closely, you can see Moe has a somewhat amused expression at Shemp's sudden change of heart.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Moe told the newspaper about Shemp's inheritence. That's what ends up setting off the women's riot at the end of the short.
* OnOneCondition: The condition to Shemp getting the inheritance is marriage.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: For Shemp to get married within 48 hours of the reading of the will.
* StockFootage: Footage from this short would be reused in the later short "[[Recap/TheThreeStoogesHusbandsBeware Husbands Beware]]."
* UnexpectedInheritance: Notable since Shemp apparently didn't like his uncle.
* WouldHitAGirl
-->'''Moe, after seeing Larry grab a pistol''': Wait a minute, you wouldn't hit a lady with that. (''hands him a rifle'') Use this it's bigger.
