September 1963, Normandy Productions and Columbia co-distributed the original, unsold THE THREE STOOGES SCRAPBOOK (1960) color television pilot in theaters, as two short subjects... a 14-minute short incorporating the first 2/3 of the film, and an 8-minute short with the final third. This is the 8-minute short.
Moe, Larry and Curly Joe are hosts on the set of THE THREE STOOGES SCRAPBOOK, a children's television show, to introduce their new cartoon, THE SPAIN MUTINY. In this animated adventure, the Stooges answer a want ad from Christopher Columbus, and join him on his sea journey to prove that the world is not square. But Chris decides to nap for the duration, leaving Moe, Larry and Curly Joe to deal with a mutinous parrot named Feathers (Mel Blanc).
The similarly titled 1983 book The Three Stooges Scrapbook, by Joan Howard Maurer and Jeff & Greg Lenburg, presents a detailed plot synopsis of THE SPAIN MUTINY.
The format of this short, live-action epilogue and prologue wraparounds with a cartoon, inspired the format of Normandy's and Cambria's NEW 3 STOOGES (1965) television cartoon series.
