Shemp Howard is a prizefighter in this Columbia All-Star Comedy who has a complex that leaves him a coward and unable to fight unless he hears “Pop Goes the Weasel.” He hears it enough here, from various and outlandish sources, to eventually win his championship match.

Viewing Notes
This threw me for a loop… because it’s a remake of the Three Stooges short Punch Drunks (1934). But here it’s Shemp Howard in the Curly role. So bizarre to me to see a remake of a short film. Maybe it was such a hit they just said, “do it again with Shemp!”
