Moe, Larry and Curly are three out-of-work tramps who are hired to promote a university football team. They're soon mistaken for the school's famous star athletes, "The Three Horsemen." As the star athletes, the Stooges get hired by a gangster to secretly play on his professional team, but of course the boys know nothing about football and wind up bungling the game. Costarring Lucille Ball.
The football scenes were shot at Los Angeles' Gilmore Stadium, the current site of CBS Television City, with the Loyola University football team. Gilmore location details with then-and-now photos are reported in The Three Stooges Journal # 108 (Winter 2003). The opening street sequences with the Stooges were filmed on Yucca and Vine Streets in downtown Hollywood. The details with then-and-now photos are published in The Three Stooges Journal # 103 (Fall 2002).
