Nutty but Nice
Nutty but Nice is a 1940 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 47th 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 are singing waiters in a restaurant where they encounter two physicians concerned about the well-being of Betty Williams, a young girl grappling with illness induced by grief. Betty's father, a bank cashier, has been abducted while transporting bonds valued at $300,000. Motivated by compassion, the Stooges undertake the task of locating the missing father, prompted by a description provided by the doctors: a middle-aged man with a bald spot, sporting an anchor tattoo, and standing at 5'10" in stature. Notably, the father and Betty share a penchant for yodeling, a skill Curly surprisingly demonstrates proficiency in.
