Up in Daisy's Penthouse is a 1953 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). It is the 144th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

Plot

The Stooges awaken to their mother's distressing revelation regarding their father's divorce, precipitated by his newfound wealth through an oil well venture. The paternal figure (Shemp Howard in a dual role), stands poised to marry Daisy, a youthful and opportunistic blonde, on the very day of the Stooges' awakening. Driven by familial concern, the Stooges embark on a mission to thwart the impending nuptials.

However, complications ensue as the visual resemblance between Shemp and his father confounds the matrimonial proceedings, resulting in Daisy inadvertently marrying the wrong man. As the narrative progresses, the Stooges find themselves entangled in perilous circumstances orchestrated by nefarious individuals intent on seizing their father's newfound riches. Despite these adversities, the Stooges demonstrate resourcefulness and fortitude, ultimately rescuing their father from imminent danger.

Production notes

Up in Daisy's Penthouse is a remake of 3 Dumb Clucks, using minimal footage from the original film. This is noticeable when the trio are on the flagpole, as audio of Curly's "woo woo"s can be heard, the first commemoration of former Stooge Curly Howard's death on January 18, 1952.[1]
