Fine Art of Boxing, The (No Stooge in the Ring)
Wide Awake Detective Agency investigators Joe and Hawth have failed to solve the antique robberies of the Ape Man Gang, and are given one last chance by their boss, I. Katchum. Guarding an antique shop late at night, the boys come face-to-face with a gang of crooks who have trained a real gorilla for the break-ins.
A remake of The Three Stooges' DIZZY DETECTIVES (1943), with some stock footage from that short. Remade with stock footage as HOOK A CROOK (1955), also starring Besser and Hawthorne.
