Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly
Columbia
16.4 min. (Short Subject)

The Stooges are out-of-work actors who manage to wrangle themselves a job putting on their gag "bullfight" act during a fiesta in Mexico. On the bus trip to Mexico City they meet a beautiful senora named Dolores, and when they run into her jealous husband at the bus stop Dolores mistakenly ends up with their suitcase instead of her own.

The Stooges search the city for Dolores, and eventually stumble on her home. They try to get their suitcase back, and end up chased by her husband. When he later sees them at the bullfight, he arranges to have a real bull released into the arena while the Stooges are doing their act.

Remade as SAPPY BULL FIGHTERS (1959) with Moe, Larry & Joe Besser.

Costar Suzanne Kaaren (Dolores) was a guest of the 1991 Three Stooges Convention in Philadelphia. See The Three Stooges Journal # 59 (Fall 1991).
