I saw this with another Stooges short, "Violent is the Word for Curly." By the late 30's they were trying all sorts of forms. "Curly" was based on the Marx brothers form. This is based on a famous Keaton gag.
The three marry sisters (drawing lots), and get a house kit that they assemble incompetently.
There's a Laurel and Hardy precedent and before that the famous Keaton "One Week." That's hilarious and clever. This isn't, except for having stooge women.
Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
