Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp
15.67 min. (Short Subject)
Telling their sons a bedtime story, the Stooges weave a tall tale of themselves as moving men sent to a spooky old mansion on a rainy night to move some old furniture, including a suit of armor. Inhabited by the spirit of Sir Tom, the armor objects to leaving. Vowing to kill the Stooges if they try to remove him, the boys go on the run from the sword-wielding Tom.
A remake, with stock footage, of THE GHOST TALKS (1949).
