They Stooge To Conga is the 128th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
The trio own a furniture shop ("Ye Olde Furniture Shoppe: Antiques Made While U Waite") who are staining some furniture they have delivered to client Miss Scudder's boarding house. While attending to their duties (and nearly destroying the furniture in the process), several new boarders at Miss Scudder's place are actually a trio of crooks who have just robbed a jewellery store. They then decide to rob Miss Scudder as well when they discover she has several valuable heirlooms. The Stooges, however, unravel the crooks' plot.
Ed Bernds and violence
A Snitch In Time is a particularly violent film for the Stooges. The topper remains 1943's They Stooge To Conga (directed by Del Lord, but A Snitch In Time runs a close second. Interestingly, this film was directed by Edward Bernds, who always maintained that the Stooges did not have to be violent for the sake of being violent. Columbia short subject head and director Jules White, on the other hand, was notorious for the excessive abuse in his shorts.
