- Uses Three Watches to Tell the Time
Moe wonders what time it is, and a Stooge pulls up his sleeve revealing three wristwatches ... Moe: Say, what's the idea of the three watches? Stooge: That's how I tell the time. You see, (points at first watch) this watch runs 15 minutes fast every two hours. (points at watch at other end) This watch runs 10 minutes slow every four hours. The watch in the middle is broken, stopped dead at two o'clock. I add the time from the fast watch to the slow watch and divide by the two in the middle.Moe: Well, what time is it now? Stooge: (pulls pocket watch from pocket) 3:15 ...

Select Harold Lloyd-inspired goofiness (Shemp in the garment bag is derived from Lloyd in a mail sack in FEET FIRST, and dangling from the telephone is a reworking of a gag from Laurel and Hardy's SAPS AT SEA), this is an unusual combination of verbal humor and thrill comedy, hinging on a turnabout "boy-who-cried-Wolf" themed plot. Janitors turned PR agents Stooges indulge in some ripe vaudevillian dialogue but the spotlight here is really on Shemp, whether he's taking dictation, waiting for the green light in order to fall off the building, or being told by a phone operator (in answer to his "What do you think I am, silly?") that she cannot give out that information; he's visually hilarious too, in his Hollywood" getup of beret, sportscoat and cravat, an ensemble which arouses Moe's sympathy when he thinks Shemp's fallen to his demise. "I'm Brown from the 'Sun'".

This short was a pretty funny short, the typing scene was funny, and the ending was good when Moe and Larry take a bath with their clothes on, and Shemp gets a girlfriend.
