Stone Age Romeos is the 163rd 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 Stooges hope to collect a reward by proving to museum curator B. Bopper (Emil Sitka) that cavemen indeed still exist. They embark on an expedition with 16mm camera in hand, ready to film what they find. Eventually, the Stooges return to the Bopper with a film showing three cavemen living in the stone age. The film illustrates the three tending to their daily chores, consisting of mixing milk, hunting fish, and gathering eggs. The film also shows the three cavemen defending their women from other cavemen. Bopper is preparing to cut the Stooges a check, until he overhears the sneaky stooges talking about how the film was a hoax, as they played the cavemen themselves. Bopper is furious, and promptly shoots the three frauds in their derriers.
Notes
- Stone Age Romeos is a reworking of 1948's I'm a Monkey's Uncle, using ample recycled footage.
