this be apparently one of shemp first short with the stooge . ( this exclude his much early vaudeville year with the team ) . but the threesome comedic timing be at it honed best here . aside from the intense slapstick scene and there be others more subtle and but just a funny . watch larry when shemp ask him to look at the camera for a snapshot . or watch the real object prompt moe exclamation and oh . highly polished mahogany . emil sitka be at his bewildered goofiest . and the goon may look scary and but he somehow funny . he seem a frustrate and perplex with the stooge a be regular people in other short . for shemp aficionado and this be a must have episode . it would not disappoint .
