Pals and Gals is the 155th 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 is suffering from an enlarged vein in his leg, and fears that it will lead to amputation. His doctor (Vernon Dent), however, advises that a few weeks in the old west will cure him. Upon arrival in a somewhat lawless town, the boys befriend the ruthless Doc Barker (Norman Willies). Barker listens to Shemp's story about his bad leg, mistaking "the biggest vein you ever saw" for a gold-bearing vein worth millions. The Stooges take a liking to Barker, but are later informed by the beautiful Nell (Christine McIntyre) that he is an outlaw who is holding her two sisters (Norma Randall and Ruth White) hostage in the basement of Barker's saloon. The trio manage to free the girls, but Barker's gang seizes Larry and locks him up as well. Moe and Shemp free Larry and flee the saloon, with Barker's gang in hot pursuit.
Notes
Pals and Gals is a reworking of 1947's Out West, using ample stock footage. In addition, scenes of the Stooges escaping the saloon via horseback were recycled from 1937's Goofs and Saddles.[1]
