Boobs in Arms is a 1940 short subject directed by Jules White starring
American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry
Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 52nd entry in the series released by
Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for
the studio between 1934 and 1959.The Stooges are street peddler
greeting card salesmen who anger a man on the street after an
accidental altercation. As they go door-to-door, they encounter a
woman (Evelyn Young) who requests that they help her make her
man-hating husband (Richard Fiske) jealous. Realizing it is the same
man they faced before, the Stooges defend themselves against the irate
husband with their usual combatives and flee from the husband shouting
his threats. In hiding from him, they line up on a queue that takes
them to a recruitment office by mistake and they end up joining the
army.No sooner are they getting acclimated with their new army
surrounding when they meet their drill instructor: Sergeant Hugh Dare,
the irate husband/man on the street they encountered before. Sgt. Dare
aggressively attempts to teach the Stooges the standard military drill
from the manual of arms. After a series of mishaps, he then threatens
them during bayonet practice.The Stooges are ultimately sent to the
front line, where they decide to take a long nap. After learning that
Sgt. Dare has been captured by the enemy, they are instructed to
detonate a laughing gas shell. After putting the laughing gas bomb in,
Curly and Moe use a swab to push the shell further in the cannon, but
ends up getting the end of the swab stuck from the inside. As they
successfully get it out, Moe falls in a puddle of mud, which Curly
admonishes him about going swimming; this angers Moe as he kicks Curly
into the cannon where his head becomes lodged. As Larry and Moe get
Curly's head out of the cannon, it points to where Curly is and they
then point the cannon straight upward. Naturally the shell goes up and
then down which manages to explode on them.
