Three Smart Saps
Three Smart Saps Plot
The Stooges must get their future father-in-law (John
Tyrrell) out of jail. Apparently, the father is a prison war-
den who has been overthrown and put behind bars by the
local mafia. The Stooges manage to sneak into the prison,
find the father-in-law to be, and start snapping as many
incriminating photos of the mafia’s party as possible. As a
result, the real crooks are served justice, and the Stooges
marry their sweethearts.
Directed by Jules White
