Released September 02, 1954
Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp
Columbia
15.4 min. (Short Subject)

Cedric the Blacksmith loves the beautiful Princess Elaine, but the Black Prince is planning to marry her, kill her father the King, and take over the kingdom. Fortunately, a travelling acting troupe (the Stooges) join Cedric to help him woo the Princess, and stop the Black Prince's dastardly plot.

A remake, with stock footage, of SQUAREHEADS OF THE ROUND TABLE (1948).

Joe Palma has three roles in this short:

  • First, Joe portrays 'Sir Satchel' in KNUTZY new footage; Bill Brauer the orginal 'Satchel' via stock footage.
  • SQUAREHEADS stock footage presents Palma as two different guards. He and Robert Stevens are the two guards in the blacksmith shop. Then with a change of costume and facial hair makeup, Palma and Stevens are two new guards chasing the Stooges thru the castle hallways.

Although Jock Mahoney (Cedric) had moved on to starring success at other studios' low-budget films, and his own television series (RANGE RIDER), he returned to film a few continuity sequences for this stock footage remake. In 1962, Mahoney would take on the role with which he is most associated, replacing Gordon Scott as the title character in the popular "Tarzan" film series.
