Shot in the Frontier is the 157th 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
It is only after their nuptials that the Stooges discover that the Noonan brothers took a liking to the wives during the Stooges' recent absence, and vowed to kill our heroes if the weddings occurred. After the Sheriff/Justice of the Peace leaves, the Stooges are stalked by the Noonan brothers, engaging in a slapstick gun battle, and in the end, a fist fight.
Production notes
Shot in the Frontier was filmed on October 26–28, 1953, nearly one year prior to its release.[1] It is a parody of the 1952 Stanley Kramer Western High Noon.[2]
