Starring Shemp, Larry, and Moe, "Sing a Song of Six Pants" is a very good Three Stooges short directed by Jules White. An escaped bank robber named Terry Hargen (Harold Brauer) takes refuge in the Stooges' tailor shop, where he poses as a mannequin.
My favorite scenes: The annoyed police detective (Vernon Dent) shouts at the Stooges that he doesn't want a coat, and the boys reply in unison, "Oh, he don't want a coat." Moe uses a pants presser to cook some hotcakes while Shemp infectiously laughs at the comics page. Watch what happens to Shemp as he irons a pair of trousers while he's perched onto the ironing board. The Stooges' treatment of Hargen & his two henchmen is quite funny; Moe uses the pants presser on the noggin of one gangster (Cy Schindell) while Larry irons him, and Shemp repeatedly kicks and punches Hargen while the former revolves on a coat rack.
"Sing a Song of Six Pants" is one catchy title, and the film is a hoot.
