Flying Saucer Daffy
Flying Saucer Daffy is a 1958 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe Besser). It is the 187th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
In a narrative parallel reminiscent of the Cinderella archetype, Joe finds himself subjected to servitude under the guardianship of his aunt and two indolent cousins, Moe and Larry. During a camping excursion, Joe inadvertently captures a photograph of a paper plate carried aloft by a gust of wind, which is misconstrued as an image of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Seizing the opportunity, Moe and Larry appropriate credit for the photograph and reap substantial financial gain, relegating Joe to the position of their subordinate.
