Disorder in the Court
Disorder in the Court is the 15th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
When Curly is called to the witness stand, he is nowhere to be found. The defense attorney Bud Jamison goes out into the hall only to find the Stooges playing jacks and tictactoe simultaneously on the floor. After considerable mutual frustration, the court finally swears in Curly, who begins to describe the events that took place on the night of the murder. He offers to show the court exactly what happened, and the Stooges break into their musical routine, with Larry on violin, Moe harmonica, and Curly on spoons. Gail Tempest shrugs off her coat and reveals her dancer costume, to the great surprise of the jury.The act ends when Larry mistakes a toupe for a tarantula Moe subsequently takes the guards gun and starts shooting the toupe, causing pandemonium in the court. After everything is brought under control, Moe and Curly reenact the actual murder with Curly on the receiving end. Moe then looks at the parrot, who was at the murder scene, and sees a note tied to the parrots foot. He opens the parrot cage, and the parrot flies out. The Stooges eventually capture the bird by shooting water at it through a fire hose. Moe then reads the letter out loud and reveals that it is a confession from the real murderer, Buck Wing, which proves Gails innocence. The note also said that Buck Wing will disappear. Just when they are going to get their picture taken at the front page, the water hose explodes, causing everyone to get wet. ........
