Released December 04, 1958
Featuring Moe, Larry and Joe
Columbia
16.2 min. (Short Subject)

The Stooges learn in a letter that their father's life depends on an operation, but he doesn't have the money for it. He writes that his property has a uranium mine, and they're sure to strike it rich. So Moe, Larry & Joe head out to their father's cabin, while dealing with Joe's uncanny luck in wishes coming true. Finding no uranium, the Stooges still manage to create plenty of explosive mayhem. Deciding to call it quits, Joe's wishing ability comes through by turning up an oil strike on Papa's country homestead.

A reworking of OILY TO BED, OILY TO RISE (1939), with some stock footage. Often referred to as a "remake," it is not. A new storyline hosts many new scenes and gags, particularly the bunkbed and prospecting scenes. The 1939 film's influence (and stock footage) is confined to the closing sequence.
