15.5 min. (Short Subject)

The boys are firemen who still use a horse-drawn fire truck. A salesman named Fred Reardon tries to convice Fire Chief Kelly (Chester Conklin) to buy a motorized truck, but is turned down. Reardon plans to force a sale by planting gun powder in the Chief's antique vehicle. But a duck consumes some of the explosive and lays a flammable egg that sets the fire station ablaze. Firemen Stooges to the rescue!... maybe?

The first short to use "Three Blind Mice" as the Stooges' theme music, this first composition/arrangement version is by Leigh Harline and Ben Oakland; see The Three Stooges Journal # 90 (Summer 1999).

Costar Lola Jensen (Crickett Kelly) was a guest of the 1992 Three Stooges Convention in Philadelphia.
