Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly
16.75 min. (Short Subject)
An ailing eccentric millionaire hires three tree surgeons - guess who - to get a mate for his puckerless persimmon tree, which can only be found on the island of Rhum Boogie. The Stooges wind up on the cannibals' menu when Curly refuses to marry the chieftain's sister.
The "idol with many hands" gag was redone in HULA-LA-LA (1951).
When Curly tells Moe to "Beat me, Daddy, down to the floor," he is paraphrasing the lyrics of a popular song -- "Beat me, Daddy, eight to the bar."
