Storyline

The stooges are tricked by some con men into selling memberships to a phony duck hunting club. To the amazement of the con men, they sell all the memberships to the police department. When the bad guys skip town, the stooges are stuck at a duck-less lake with a lodge full of cops and plenty of trouble ahead. Moe and Larry stall the cops with duck decoys while Curly searches for some real ducks. The boys think their troubles are solved when Curly returns with a whole flock, but it turns out the ducks belong to local farmer and the boys leave in a hail of buckshot.

Trivia

In the scene where the police officer is chasing the Three Stooges down a sidewalk, the "HOLLYWOODLAND" sign (later changed to the current "HOLLYWOOD") is clearly visible in the background. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When the Stooges are trying to sell a membership to the man in the hallway, Culry tugs the lapel of his jacket and tears it off. In the next shot, the man's left sleeve is missing before he and Moe tear the rest of the jacket. See more »

Quotes

Curly: Ducks, ducks... oh, wanna buy some ducks? Is your blood red? Are you a potent hunter? All you need is a prime appeal. How about a duck? There's one in every office!
