Crash Goes the Hash is the 77th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
The Stooges are shirt pressers who are mistaken for Starr Press reporters. Fuller Bull (Vernon Dent), the head of an ailing newspaper, quickly, hires the Stooges to get a picture of visiting Prince Shaam of Ubeedarn (Dick Curtis). Word has it that Shaam has plans to marry local wealthy socialite Mrs. Van Bustle (Symona Boniface). The trio disguise themselves as servants, and work their into a party being held at Mrs. Van Bustle's in the honor of the prince. Naturally, they all but sabatoge the festivity. The inept trio serve hors d'oeuvres consisting of peas and dog biscuits, and a turkey stuffed with a live parrot. The prince leaves in disgust, with the butler (Bud Jamison) following close behind. Undaunted, the Stooges manage to expose the prince as crook who is planning to rob the house. As a result of their findings, Fuller Bull gives the boys a large bonus.
Notes
Crash Goes the Hash was supporting actor Bud Jamison's final appearance in a Stooge film. A Type 2 diabetic in his later years, Jamison appeared in 16 more films before his untimely death in September 1944. As he was a devout Christian Scientist, Jamison refused to take insulin when the symptoms of his diabetes acted up. As a result, he went into diabetic shock and died at age 50.
