This second short subject by The Three Stooges is the first outstanding one, and easily one of their very best of all! Pretty much playing individual characters, Moe is a fight promoter down on his luck eating lunch at a restaurant one day when he sees that a violin player (Larry) whose uppity musical rendition of "Pop Goes the Weasel" has a profound impact on a dopey waiter (Curley) -- the tune instinctively makes him go berserk and beat customers up! Seizing the opportunity for success, Moe enlists Larry and Curley on his team to make millions by promoting Curley as his sensational new fighter. As far as Stooge comedies go, this is choice stuff - and funny throughout. **** out of ****
