SOCK-A-BYE BABY (1942)

Film Pick of the Day
Tuesday, September 15, 2026

A woman leaves a baby on the Stooges' doorstep. Taking the baby in, the boys learn the hard way the responsibilities of fatherhood... having a hard time changing the baby's diaper (they test how big the diaper should be on Curly), and trying to feed it things like an artichoke and spagetti. Reading in the newspaper that a baby was kidnapped, just as the police arrive with their baby's distraught mother, our heroes incorrectly assume they have the kidnapped child. And the chase is on!

An interview with costar Julie Gibson appeared in The Three Stooges Journal # 110 (Summer 2004)
