Studio Stoops is the 126th 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 exterminators mistaken for B.O. Pictures' publicity department. They are then instructed to drum up publicity for the studio's lovely new actress Dolly Devore (Christine McIntyre), and arrange a fake kidnapping.
However, two gangsters hear the Stooges' plan and kidnap Devore for real, forcing the Stooges to come to her rescue. Shemp winds up hanging out a tenth-story window from an old-fashioned extension telephone.
