1. A Trio Grows in Brooklyn
Reluctant to admit who he was, the son of Moe, Paul Howard begins a 100 year journey through the legacy of the greatest comedy team of all time, The Three Stooges. It all starts in the 1890's when the sons of a strong-willed Jewish mother learn about love, laughter and schtick on the streets of Brooklyn, and young son Moe embarks on an acting career on a Mississippi riverboat.
2. A Stooge Is Born
Two Howards and one Fine become The Three Stooges and step up from second bananas in Vaudeville to growing acclaim as Columbia Picture's brightest dim bulbs. Shemp quietly exits the trio as little brother Jerome joins with gusto and brilliance as he shaves his head and becomes the lovable "Curly.· Can they really make it in the big time? ..... "Soitanly!"
3. Slap Happy
It's the 1930's and Moe's son, Paul, is born. It's a new era as The Three Stooges endure the Great Depression and give an upper cut to the upper crust in an avalanche of wildly popular movie shorts. The Stooges are on a roll, but Curfy's off-screen antics leave The Three Stooges just a pratfall away from disaster .... and you ain't heard Nyuking yet!
