Rl. Sep. 22 / Prod. No. 4020 / 19 m / pd Jules White / st scr Felix Adler / ph Benjamin Kline / e Charles Hochberg / a Charles Clague / C: Lyndsay, Laverne, and Betty (Themselves), Johnny Tyrell (Manny Weeks), Bob Burns (Man with hard hat in audience) and Lynton Brent (Sketch Lieutenant)

SYN: Following an audition for talent scout Manny Weeks, the Stooges and a trio of dancing girls are hired to replace a shipyard act, the Castor and Earl Revue. The Stooges perform "Niagara Falls" and an army routine, "At the Front", while the girls provide some dancing and pretty impressive acrobatics. The show closes a triumphant success and the Stooges propose to the girls (who they only met that same day), embarking on a honeymoon for - where else- Niagara Falls!

Quick Hits:

- Did you know that Niagara Falls footage was originally shot for Columbia's 1943 feature "Good Luck, Mr. Yates" but was cut out at the last minute?

- Did you know that although this short is somewhat lacking as far as a storyline, because of the infamous "Niagara Falls" routine, this short is very sought after and one of the more popular Curly shorts ever filmed. One of the more commonly asked questions by fans of the Stooges on many of the popular fan sites is "Which short film featured the Niagara Falls bit?"
