[edit] Plot
The Stooges are detective school graduates shipped off to Scotland. Dressed in kilts and talking in phony Scotch accents, the Stooges (as McMoe, McLarry, and McShemp) are given the task of guarding the prized possessions of the castle's owner (Herbert Evans). The castle staff are actually ransacking the castle while the boys sleep there, though they eventually get the baddies.
[edit] Notes
- Scotched in Scotland is a remake of 1948's The Hot Scots, using ample recycled footage from the original film.[1]
- A whistling, howling wind-like sound is added to the soundtrack to give the film a more "spooky" effect. This was not done in The Hot Scots.[1]
