Did The Captain Ever Get His Clothes Back?, 14 February 2008
6/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

This was one of those very fast-moving Stooges shorts that really had no story. Even so, I was surprised to see familiar foil Vernon Dent kind of forgotten in the last half of the film. He was supposed to be chasing the guy (who was Curly) who stole his Naval Captain's uniform. We never know what happened regarding that angle.

The best gags in here for in the first half, anyway. The boys have a truck, selling fresh fish and some of the routines are both subtle and slapstick as they try to peddle their wares and then come up with the idea of buying their own boat to catch the fish and cut out the middleman.

However, you can imagine how their boat-sailing and fishing expeditions. Suffice to say, not too well!

A nice feature in here was seeing Rebel Randall (that's a woman!) in her bathing suit. Wow, would she look good in today's styles.
