SYN: The setting is in Merry Old England, about 1630. Larry, Moe and Curly are accused of battling with His Majesty's guard and are sentenced to defend the Plymouth colonists from the Indians. Here they meet three lovely ladies: Faith, Hope and Charity. The Stooges are trying their best to swoon the young ladies hearts and in walks the authorities. The Stooges are then forced to get to work by defending the colonies from the brutal redskins. While protecting their fellow man, Larry is captured by savages. It doesn't take long before Curly and Moe come to the rescue disguised as Indians themselves. In an "Arrow" escape the Stooges hop into a canoe and, with one paddle stroke, cross the lake.

Quick Hits:

- Former model Ethelreda Leopold appeared in many Stooge comedies, but got few speaking parts. This is one of her largest roles.
