Flat Foot Stooges
Flat Foot Stooges is the 35th 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.
Mr. Reardon tries to sabotage the firehouse by committing arson. He drops a can of gunpowder into the oldfashioned pump boiler and the chiefs daughter Lola Jensen sees him. Reardon does not know that the can has a leak, and a duck has been eating the spilled gunpowder. The duck alights on a window ledge in the station and lays an egg, which falls to the floor and explodes like a hand grenade, starting a fire. The explosion startles the chiefs daughter which causes her to fall backwards and knock her head on the bed, unconscious. Realizing too late that the blaze is coming from their own fire station, the Stooges manage to arrive just in time to save the chiefs daughter from the flames.Filmed on October 2528, 1938, the title Flat Foot Stooges is a pun on the 1938 jazz song Flat Foot Floogie. ........
