Not so much "lifted from" as "filmed at exactly the same time". While reading the Index (?!) of "The Three Stooges Scrapbook" I noticed that "Horsing Around" was filmed at exactly the same time as "Oil's Well That Ends Well." I could never figure out why Larry's hair was noticably flatter during the cabin segment of Oil's Well until I noticed the shooting schedule. That may also explain Larry's flub when he's picking up the box--"It's light as a feather! We'll--" he may have gotten the two scripts confused. Or, more likely, it was a 'normal' flub, but since budgets and schedules were tight, the mistake was left in.
