    • Trivia
      The first Stooges short to feature regular support Philip Van Zandt, after having a bit part as a soldier on "Boobs in Arms" (1940).
    • Goofs
      The two guards that start to chase the stooges when they get out of their jail cell are wearing white tunics with a cross (like a Crusader's) but when they are next shown (chasing them through hallways) their tunics are dark with lions on them.

      Larry: Cedric, old boy, don't let it get you down.

      Shemp: No. Just one fftt, and it's all over.

      Cedric the Blacksmith: Thanks. You're brave men. It will be an honor to go to the block with you.

      Moe, Larry, Shemp: [modestly] Oh...

      [flinching]

      Shemp: What?

      Moe: You mean they're gonna give us the works, too?

      Cedric the Blacksmith: Didn't you know?

      Moe, Larry, Shemp: No!

      Cedric the Blacksmith: We all die together.

      Moe: Oh, no. I gotta get myself a cheap lawyer.

    fine Shemp Stooges

    In Days of Old, when Knights were Bold and Suits were made of Iron. Larry, Moe, and Shemp are troubadours on their way to King Arthur's court. Knights are searching for Cedric the Blacksmith. He's in love with Princess Elaine but the King had promised her hand to The Black Prince. This is fine for a Shemp Stooges short. There is a fun corridor chase although the knights could do something funnier. Everything could be funnier but they just don't have Curly. This is perfectly fine.
