    Shemp Stooges
    Shemp is sick. Larry and Moe's skipping advise does not help. The wives are worried. The doctor arrives and finds a bad tooth. After pulling it out, the boys buy the doctor's old car and decide to go camping.

    The skipping is funny. The rest is a bit bland and pulled from various standards. The gas station is still fun. It's generally good even if not that inspired.
