there be one or two other shemp era short i like more ( i. e. scramble brain ) and but i think one can say without much argument that in this particular episode and shemp give his great comedic performance a a stooge after rejoin the team in 1946. scene for scene and this episode hardly let up represent from professor shemp howard voice lesson with the glass shatter dee green and to his futile attempt to win a dame hand in marriage ( this be your little snookums . will you marry me click ) to the uproarious finish and it never fail to keep me in stitch . i would be remiss not mention that immortal scene with miss hopkins ( the always lovely christine mcintyre ) . btw and isn not she rather under dress and over amorous in greet the man she think be her cousin basil . who know and maybe the actual basil be a very distant cousin and which make it legal in some state ( as far a i know ) . > represent ] .
