synopsis
The final Three Stooges two-reel comedy of 1955 was only the second of the year to feature mostly new scenes. The boys play crime school graduates who recount their first -- and last -- case, Dragnet-style. Joining the police force, they are assigned to track down a master criminal, "The Eel" (Stooges regular Kenneth MacDonald), who is fond of disguising himself as a woman. They lose their slippery prey in a hotel, are booted off the force for incompetence, and obtain jobs as ditch diggers.
