From Nurse to Worse is the 49th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
Plot
The boys are painters who run into their old friend Jerry, an insurance salesman (Lynton Brent). He promises them that if they take out a policy on Curly proving that he has gone insane, they can collect $500 a month. Moe and Larry bring Curly on a leash to the office of Dr. D. Lerious (Vernon Dent). Curly's pretending to be a hound is so over the top that the doctor declares he must operate. The Stooges flee, and hide out in the back of a dog catcher's truck and are soon infested with fleas. Dr. Lerious eventually catches up with the Stooges, and Curly is sent straight for the oeprating room. Eventually, the trio get away on a gurney, bump into their pal Jerry, and give him the works.
Quotes
Curly (protesting): "This is my favorite dollar!" I raised it from a cent!"
Notes
The footage of the Stooges sailing through the city streets was lifted from Dizzy Doctors.
