It's amazing how many times the Three Stooges dress up as woman and some poor sap falls for Curly, and Our Favorite Stooge, has to deal with it. Invariably the same things happen: 1 - Curly and whomever get married right away; 2 - the guy chases Curly around the room trying to make advances; and 3 - Curly's wig falls off and the big doofuss finally figures out Curly is a man; 4 - Curly (along with Larry and Moe) now run for their lives.

That's what happens in this story, and I've seen the same thing in a half dozen other Stooges yarns. The big dope who falls for Curly in this movie is one of the all-time favorite actors of TS films: Bud Jamison. Bud plays "Pierre," a Frenchman back in the days of log cabins, coonskin caps and wild saloons.

The Stooges are cheaters in a gambling scheme in one of the bars. They get caught and run for their lives. Wanted posters go up everywhere with a reward - "Dead or In Bad Shape" - for the Stooges.

We see how the boys try to live out in the woods with a lot of standard hunting and fishing gags. The best part is when they wind up in Pierre's log cabin and total insanity takes over as the boys don Indian costumes to try to fool the sheriff and his posse.

Tell me if this sample of dialog sounds just like the Stooges.

(Sheriff enters cabin and sees three Indians):

Moe: "How"

Larry: "How"

Curly: "How ya doin?"

Curly, as usual, comes up with a lot of good material, some of it subtle with just a quick mannerism or facial expression. I always wondered if history has given him his due as one of the great American comedians of all time. I think he was, an perhaps under-appreciated.

"Whoops, I'm an Indian!" is a relatively early Three Stooges cartoon. It is basically the usual. Moe and Larry are on board and Curly is also still there. Director is Del Lord and he made several of these Stooges short films. Runtime is the usual again too with slightly over 17 minutes. The trio once again gets in trouble while trying to cheat during gambling and their way of hiding this time is by dressing up as Indians. But sooner than later, love gets in the way in the most unpleasant way for Curly. Oh my, maybe it would have been better to stand up for what they did and avoid all the complications and chaos that ensues. But they would not be the Stooges if they did so right? Anyway, I personally have seen better Stooges than this one here. The comedy is not spot-on and it is really more loud and chaotic than truly entertaining. i give it a thumbs down.

This is another Stooges short with a Western setting, which has some nice backwoods scenery but is otherwise routine. Here, the boys are swindlers run out of town by the customers of a saloon; they subsequently have to fend for themselves, where we get a good gag which has Curly trying to procure food by going underwater and shooting at the fish! Eventually, they reach a log-cabin – the property of one of their 'victims' and whose wife has been abducted by Indians; coincidentally, The Stooges disguise themselves as Native Americans which, of course, incurs the trapper's wrath (and also gives the film its title!). At the finale, our heroes are back in town – believing their Indian disguise will fool the locals – but, on the run once again soon after, they unwittingly lock themselves up in jail!
