Loose Loot is the 146th 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.

Plot

The Stooges are trying to obtain their inheritance from their late uncle. Unfortunately, it has been swiped by con man Icabod Slipp (Kenneth MacDonald). The trio track Slipp down at the Circle Follies Theatre, and duke it out.

Shemp appears to be the lucky one, ogling up to Suzanne Ridgeway, in Loose Loot

Production notes

The first half of Loose Loot consists of footage recycled from Hold That Lion!.[1]

Icabod Slipp's name appears on the door as "I. Slipp." This is a semantic parody on the Long Island town of Islip, New York.[2]
