Released January 15, 1937
Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly
Columbia
18.75 min. (Short Subject)

The Stooges are hobos thrown off a freight train and chased out of the railroad yard. Hiding in the "Hangover Athletic Club," Curly is hired as a sparring partner. Ivan Bustoff, wrestling's World Champion, takes a shine to the Stooges and his manager Tony hires them to keep on eye on Bustoff and make sure he doesn't drink. Ivan gets plastered regardless, followed by the boys accidentally knocking him cold with dumbells. Moe sends out Curly disguised as Bustoff, hoping that will keep Tony's gang from knocking them off.

 

A production still shows that Sol Horwitz was one of the audience extras for the wrestling match. He can also be glimpsed very briefly in one scene of the film.
