Rl. Dec. 30 / Prod. No. 575 / 161/2 m / p Hugh McCollum / d Del Lord / st scr Del Lord / ph John Stumar / e Paul Borofsky / a Victor Greene / C: Bud Jamison (Cop), Fred Kelsey (Cop) and Dudley Dickerson (Watchman)

SYN: Janitors Moe, Larry, and Curly are mistaken for three doctors Hart, Burns and Belcher, when three bank robbers suddenly rush into the doctor's office ordering them to remove a bullet from one of the wounded robbers. With no time to explain, the Stooges start operating. The automatic gurney lifts up and their sedated patient goes flying out a nearby window and lands in a nearby police car. When the other two robbers find a skeleton instead of their partner on the operating table, they chase the Stooges into a room of mannequins, wax models and stage props. During the commotions, Curly trips into a tray of plaster and arises looking like a big white ghost. In the process of trying to locate Moe and Larry, he scares off the watchman (Dudley Dickerson) and everyone except the heat who end up pinching the crooks.

Quick Hits:

- Did you know that "Flat Foot Stooges" is the second film the Stooges performed under the direction of Charley Chase?

- Dudley Dickerson plays basically the same character that you see in "Hold That Lion" and "A Plumbing We Will Go". His character adds humor and excitement to an otherwise boring plot.
