Woman Haters

Woman Haters is the first 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. The Stooges, employed as traveling salesmen, join the Woman Haters Club. They swear never to get romantically involved with a woman. That does not last very long. Larry finds a woman, Mary , falls in love, and has proposed marriage. Misogynists Moe and Curly talk him out of it, but Mary's father threatens Larry and makes him marry his very attractive daughter. Later, on a train ride, the confrontation escalates... between the Stooges and Mary. Mary uses her feminine charm to woo both Curly and Moe in an attempt to make Larry jealous. She sings a theme with each of the stooges in turn, as she flirts with them. Each is attracted to her charms as she proves the oath they swore as Women Haters was fraudulent. Finally, Mary tells Moe and Curly the truth, that she and Larry are married, and pushes her way into bed with the trio, knocking Moe and Curly out the train window in the process.
