Malice in the Palace is a 1949 short subject directed by Jules White starring the American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). It is the 117th 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 operate a Middle Eastern restaurant called Cafe Casbah Bah, where they become entangled in a string of mishaps while serving patrons Hassan ben Sober and Ginna Rumma. A culinary incident ensues when spaghetti inadvertently splatters onto the patrons' faces, prompting the Stooges to offer a replacement meal of rabbit and hot dogs. Their efforts are further complicated by the presence of a stray cat and dog, leading to mistaken impressions about the meal's ingredients.
