Director: JULES WHITE. Screenplay: Felix Adler, Clyde Bruckman. Photography: Barney McGill. Film editor: Mel Thorsen. RCA Sound System. Producer: Jules White.

Copyright 13 February 1941 by Columbia Pictures Corporation. U.S. release: 7 February 1941. 2 reels. 1,579 feet. 17 minutes.

SYNOPSIS: The Stooges attempt to break an honest man out of jail.

NOTES: Number 53 of the 190 short subjects the Stooges made for Columbia.

Second last of 92 movies photographed by the great Barney McGill before his death at the early age of 51 on 11 January 1942.

COMMENT: The Stooges are not schoolteachers, as the title implies, but street cleaners. After fighting a losing battle with wonderfully litter-strewn streets, the boys are inveigled into setting a convict free. To do this, they have to get themselves thrown into jail first.

Plenty of fun in this one, with Curly in top form, assisted by a great support cast including Bruce Bennett in a very small but key part as a prison guard.

some recycling

Bumbling street cleaners Larry, Curly, and Moe find an envelop full of valuable oil bonds belonging to B.O. Davis. They return it to the owner who is so impressed that he offers the boys a large reward if they could find a honest executive. Their incompetent search ends up in prison.

It's a lot of random twists and turns. It's got the ridiculous physical comedy of the Stooges with Curly. It gets really great in prison which is reused from "Beer Barrel Polecats". Their stories are so random that it fits almost seamlessly when compared to the rest of the short. I really love Curly breaking the 4th wall to close it.
