THE HOT SCOTS (1948)

Film Pick of the Day
Tuesday, October 13, 2026

The Stooges try to get jobs with Scotland Yard after graduating from a correspondence detective school. They wind up as "Yard Men" all right - picking up trash and pruning the hedges. But they get their chance when they find a note calling for three detectives to go to Glenheather Castle in Scotland to solve a mystery.

Remade as SCOTCHED IN SCOTLAND (1954), with stock footage.

A transcription of an unfilmed sequence, an alternate ending found in Jules White's files, is presented in The Three Stooges Journal # 128 (Winter 2008).
