Wham-Bam-Slam! is the 164th 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
Shemp has been ill with a toothache for quite some time. The Stooges' friend Claude (Matt McHugh), a self-proclaimed Kevin Trudeau-ish doctor, gives Moe and Larry some specific instructions on how to cure the toothache, which, of course, they misinterpret every which was possible. After finally yanking the troublesome tooth, Claude suggests the trip take Shemp on a caming trip for a little R&R. Since the Stooges do not own a car, Claude offers to sell them a car that turns out to be a "lemon."
The trio run into a series of mishaps trying to get the car to work, including a flat tire that lands Moe's foot under the car. After all is said and done, Shemp realizes thae he feels better after all.
Notes
- Wham-Bam-Slam! is a reworking of Pardon My Clutch, using ample recycled footage from the original.
Quotes
- Larry: "You know, fish is great brain food."
- Moe: "you know, you should fish for a whale!" *SLAP!*
