Three Stooges [Moe Howard; Larry Fine; Curly Joe DeRita]; pirates
Synopsis
In pirate times, the Stooges are shanghaied aboard a pirate ship. They're so inept they're sent to the kitchens. Finding a girl prisoner, they dose the pirates' food with chili powder and board a launch. Hunted on Parrot Island, Curly Joe trains the parrots to shout like soldiers. "Surrounded", the pirates surrender and the boys collect a reward for the girl's rescue.
