Cash and Carry is a 1937 Three Stooges short, their 25th [1] for Columbia Pictures. Involving the Stooges as miners helping a crippled orphan get money for his leg surgery, this film is notable for showing an uncharacteristically tender side to the comedy team.

Writer Clyde Bruckman's story was later adapted for comedian Andy Clyde in his short films A Miner Affair (1945)[5] and Two April Fools (1954)[6].

Plot

The film opens with the Three Stooges, as prospectors, coming home to their shack in the city dump. Finding it inhabited by a young woman and her crippled younger brother, Jimmy, they decide to help raise the $500 needed for a leg operation for the boy. They immediately find a can full of money ("canned coin," as Curly calls it), which turns out to be the $62 the boy and his sister have already saved for the operation. Two con-men cheat the Stooges out of the $62 and their car for a map they claim will lead to Captain Kidd's treasure. Following the map, the Stooges drill into the United States Treasury, where they are arrested. The film ends happily when President Franklin D. Roosevelt learns of the plight of the boy and the Stooges. He both pardons the Stooges and pays for Jimmy's operation.

Home video releases

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, which produces the Three Stooges DVDs, released a VHS of the film on January 28, 1997. Taking Cash and Carry as its title, this videotape also contained the Three Stooges shorts, No Census, No Feeling (1940), and Some More of Samoa (1941). The tape is currently out of print. [7] As of August, 2006, Cash and Carry is not available on DVD.

Notes
