Released April 05, 1956
Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp
Columbia
15.9 min. (Short Subject)

The Stooges have been taking care of Mary, their downstairs neighbor who is confined to a wheelchair. The boys have jobs hanging posters at a theatre featuring The Great Svengarlic, a famous hypnotist. Svengarlic is also the leader of a gang of jewel thieves, who plan to rob an office building next door to the theatre. When Svengarlic needs some dupes who will help him put on a public exhibition, distracting everyone from his gang's next robbery, the Stooges are hypnotized to walk out on a flagpole and dance many stories above the street. Svengarlic is knocked unconcious in an accident, and the Stooges awake to find themselves clinging to the flagpole for dear life.

A remake, with stock footage, of HOKUS POKUS (1949).

The new footage for FLAGPOLE JITTERS was filmed July 1, 1955; the new footage to FOR CRIMIN' OUT LOUD (1956) was filmed on June 30, 1955. Contrary to what the release dates lead some to think, Shemp's final work before the camera was done for FLAGPOLE JITTERS.
