The Yoke's on Me

The Yoke's on Me is a 1944 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 79th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who appeared in 190 shorts at the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Plot

The Stooges attempt to join the army during World War II, but are labeled 4-F by the draft board due to Curly having water on the knee. Transitioning from thwarted aspirations of enlistment to the realm of agricultural endeavor, the trio, spurred by paternal encouragement, embraces farming as a means to contribute to the war effort. Symbolically shedding their urban trappings, they embark on a venture marked by resourcefulness and determination, epitomized by the sale of their car to acquire a dilapidated farm.
