Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the trio are out on the street in front of the firehouse, there is a policeman standing in the background directing cars to continue on without making a right turn into the scene being shot. There is also a Safeway grocery store on that background street, and later on a Max Factor Make-up Salon (opened in 1935) and Bekins Van Lines truck, the last two possibly product placements or merely coincidence.
- GoofsWhen Moe is helping Minnie out of the car trunk, she accidentally kicks the actress behind her in the jaw.
- Quotes
Fire Chief: If this were the army I'd have you shot at sunrise!
Curly: But you couldn't do that, cap, we don't get up that early!

Featured review
incompetent, idiotic, and selfish
Larry, Curly, and Moe are incompetent firemen. The Captain is furious that they missed the fire. He gives them their last chance but the boys keep screwing up. Curly sneaks out to visit his girlfriend. She has two friends who need boyfriends. Curly makes a false alarm to bring in his firemen friends.
Incompetent, idiotic, and selfish is the best of the ugly Stooges. This is one of the best ugly Stooges. One still roots for them despite themselves. I love Curly fighting the girl although he could lose worst. When he slaps her, he should act like he hurts his hand. I also love that this is one story and not disjointed. This is loads of fun.
