Tricky Dicks

Tricky Dicks is a 1953 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). It is the 147th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Plot

The Stooges, assuming the roles of detectives immersed in a game of gin rummy, contend with constant interruptions, particularly from a persistently ringing telephone. Their focus is momentarily diverted when Shemp introduces the pickpocket Slick Chick, who adeptly eludes the confines of the police station through persuasive rhetoric. Subsequently, Shemp joins the ongoing gin rummy match, adding another layer of complexity to their activities as they grapple with the challenges posed by an obstinate filing cabinet.
