The Hot Scots is the 108th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
[edit] Plot
The Stooges are wannabe detectives who inadvertently get their chance to crack a case in 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
- Like Squareheads of the Round Table and Fiddlers Three, The Hot Scots was filmed on the existing set of the feature film The Bandit of Sherwood Forest.
- The Hot Scots was reworked in 1954 as Scotched in Scotland, using ample stock footage.
