This short is considered an all-time classic and when Curly was in his prime as the Stooges are incompetent ice delivery men who are hired by a desperate housewife to cook a birthday dinner for her henpecked husband (Vernon Dent) and from there, it's disaster after disaster. One thing about this short is that it's non-stop laughter from start to finish.
Many of the gags in this short were later remade in the later Stooge short LISTEN, JUDGE that borrowed a lot of plot elements from STAKE. One could wonder what was going through their heads trying to one-up the routines.
