The boys go to Hollywood and are mistaken for important New York film executives. Thus, for a few hours they take over a studio, completely wreak havoc during a movie scene and cause the director and two stars to quit in disgust. They then take those spots in the film and, of course, it's horrible. Soon, they are discovered and run for the lives, beginning with a funny scene with two lions.
About the first 60 percent of this Three Stooges short involves the guys getting to Hollywood with the usual breakfast-making and pants-pressing gags. For guys bumming a ride in an empty railroad car, it's pretty amazing how they got all the furniture in here without being detected. (One doesn't try to analyze Three Stooges films!). In this boxcar, they have a big bed, a stove, food, mirrors, chairs, paint, irons, you name it.....even a picture of John Barrymore! Curley's goal is to be the new John Barrymore.
It takes several attempts to try to sneak into the studio, once the boys make it to Hollywood. After a few clichés, Curley said, "If you don't succeed, keep succin' 'til you do succeed."
Once the boys get in, they show the experts how to kiss and how to use hand actions in dramatic scenes. The latter has some funny material, probably the best in this story.
Overall, this is fair. It doesn't have a lot of laugh-out-loud scenes but it has some good subtle stuff, mostly by Curley. By the way, have you noticed how they spelled it Curley at times and Curly - without the "e" - at other times?
