From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Restless Knights (1935) is the 6th of Columbia Pictures' 190 short subjects starring the comedy team of the Three Stooges.

[edit] Plot

Set in Medieval times, the Stooges learn they are of royal blood. They also learn of a plot by the prime minister to kidnap the queen. The Stooges become the queen's royal guards and vow to save the kingdom. However, they are sentenced to die when they fail to prevent the abduction and are blamed for the crime.

[edit] Notes

• The Stooges' father is played by Walter Brennan.
• As the Stooges' father slaps all three of them for their misbehavior, look closely, and you'll find the father put Larry's candle out at the same time.
