Outer Space Jitters

Outer Space Jitters is a 1957 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe Besser). It is the 182nd entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959. The supporting cast for this short features Dan Blocker as a creature from outer space.

Plot

The Stooges regale their infant progeny with a narrative of their extraterrestrial exploits. In this tale, they serve as assistants to Professor Jones on an interstellar voyage to the planet Sunev (a reversal of the spelling of Venus). Upon their arrival, they are cordially received by the planet's leader, the Grand Slitz of Sunev. However, it soon becomes evident that the Grand Slitz harbors malevolent intentions to resurrect prehistoric beings and conquer Earth. Professor Jones discerns the nefarious plot but is promptly subdued and restrained.
