Suzanne Kaaren is on trial for her life. A nightclub entertainer she's accused of murdering a fellow performer. But she's got three alibi witnesses and need I tell you who they are.Moe, Larry, and Curly when called to testify wreak havoc on the poor judge's courtroom. Curly is called to testify first and he has a very funny bit when he is called on to remove his hat and swear on the Bible. Since he's carrying a cane he can't quite multi-task. When they do get him on the stand after some futile attempts to elicit testimony, he asks if he and his friends could reenact their testimony. After that the three who are musicians back Suzanne Kaaren in a song. It gets very funny as Larry's violin bow removes the court reporter's toupee, Moe swallows his mouth organ, and Curly's bass fiddle bow becomes a general weapon of war. Believe it or not, the truth does will out.Columbia Pictures for which they toiled released a film called Who Killed Gail Preston two years later. I wonder if the inspiration came from this film where Suzanne Kaaren's character is Gail Tempest?If you look among the courtroom spectators you will find the parents of Moe, Curly, and Shemp Howard. Their only appearance in any of their sons' work.The Stooges wreak havoc and laughs on the criminal justice system.

"Disorder in the Court" is a fantastic and well-named Three Stooges comedy. The setting is a courtroom, where Curly, Larry, and Moe all get a chance to go absolutely berserk. Never mind the plot; just enjoy watching the Stooges cause all kinds of havoc! Here are the highlights from this fine film (DON'T read any further until after you have seen it). The boys perform a fine musical interlude (Larry on violin, conductor Moe on harmonica, and Curly on spoons and double bass), with Larry wrestling with a "tarrantula" on his violin bow. The defense attorney (Bud Jamison) leaves the courtroom to find the Stooges out in the hallway playing jacks and disagreeing over onesies, twosies, and fivesies. Larry lets out a Tarzan yell (apparently for no reason) after he snatches the wad of gum off of Moe's nose. Curly tries to knock out the parrot with a mallet but instead knocks out each member of the jury one by one. And finally, "Take off your hat. Raise your right hand. Now put your left hand here. Take off your hat. Raise your right hand," etc."Disorder in the Court" is undoubtedly a classic Three Stooges film, and one of the reasons why is because of its public domain status; all of the TV specials about the Stooges are full of clips from this short. To put it very simply, "Disorder in the Court" is a must-see for every Three Stooges fan.

While this is yet another ever entertaining (un)usual Stooges' slapstick shtick, I particularly liked it for the catchy musical number. I video clipped that cameo back in the mid '70's. The, "Who Killed Cock Robin?" theme was also cool.In someone's comments on this Short, they noted that, due to an oversight in the '60's, this title slipped into public domain. It wouldn't have made any difference to the Stooges because, from the very start of their work in films together, they were outrageously conned and saw very little money from their movie efforts.Including all the Curlies, my favourite has always been Larry.

Without a doubt, this always has been and always will be my favorite stooge flick. I loved every minute of it and you will always get a laugh from the three stooges.The plot is that Gail's life is at stake for a murder that she did not commit at dancer's club. Her only witnesses are the three stooges that can prove that she did not commit the crime. Through their zanny testimonies they find a way to save her life from being thrown away to prison.This is one of the best stooge comedies, and I would highly recommend it to any true stooge fans! 10/10
