Trivia

This is one of four of The Three Stooges shorts that ended up falling into the public domain, the other three being Brideless Groom (1947), Sing a Song of Six Pants (1947), and Disorder in the Court (1936). Because of that, these four shorts frequently appear on very cheaply processed video and DVD compilations. See more »

Goofs

The line "Wait a minute!" is actually heard again, accidentally, when Ben Sober proceeds to kill Moe with the knife. He was meant to say "Sir!", originally. See more »

Quotes

Larry: [after Hassan, Ginna, Moe, and Shemp think he's killed a dog and a cat, he comes out to serve the food] Here you are, gentlemen. Hot dog, when it comes to cookin' I'm the cat's meow!

a cat, a dog, Santa Claus
8 February 2019 | by Kirpianuscus – See all my reviews

One of seductive episodes, mixing the pieces of mistery, exoticism, the gags and cook. Nice scene by scene. Naive today, it remains amusing. For a cat, a dog, Santa Claus and a map. All as pieces from a past who remains real cool.
