"For a thousand bucks, we'll even become gentlemen."
In their 97th short (which was the final short with the original primary team), the Stooges are chosen by Professor Quackenbush (Vernon Dent) to become gentlemen through an environmental trail to prove his partner, Professor Sedletz, wrong.This is a rehash of their 1935 short "Hoi Polloi", with the Stooges being chosen to be turned into gentlemen, so the man can win a bet between his friend.
Featured tropes:
- Major Injury Underreaction:Prof. Quackenbush: "There is definite vacancy of the cranium."
Curly: "Gee, thanks!" - Pie in the Face: What better way to end a Stooge short with this old routine?
- Weird Trade Union: The Stooges are proud members of the Amalgamated Association of Morons Local 6-7/8.
We are morons, tried and true, and we’ll do our yell for you!! (bizarre noises ensue) - What Happened to the Mouse?: Curly. After Moe finds him about to eat a pie, he tells Curly to sit down before he decides slugging him. As the pie fight began, he was never seen again. note
