SYN: Moe, Larry & Shemp are three troubadours sent to cheer up the broken-hearted Princess Elaine. Her father, the King, has pledged her hand in marriage to the Black Prince, but she loves Cedric the local blacksmith. True love always prevails, and Elaine hires three of the best to help her.

Quick Hits:

- Did you know that In 1943 Christine McIntyre was "discovered" by Columbia comedy shorts producer Hugh McCollum. Her first two-reeler for Columbia Pictures, under a temporary contract, was the Slim Summerville western vehicle GARDEN OF EATIN' (memorable only because of Christine's supporting presense) that premiered 10/22/1943. In 1944, she apparently signed a ten year shorts contract with Columbia (renewable by Columbia every year).

SD: 2 (Dates not listed) / FN: A remake of Squareheads of the Round Table (3/4/48), using a high volume of stock footage.
