Of course, the lead-up wherein Shemp and Christine make serial switches of the cocktail glasses is a howl.

Yes, I wonder if it really makes sense, acting as they do when he knows she knows he knows - at what point do you drop the pretense? I'll try and work it out on a piece of paper.

But whatever, I like Christine McIntyre as the niece. The niece is nice!

reply

In reality, she kept the spiked drink. Shemp then made the final switch which he thought sent the spiked drink back to her, but which, in reality, sent the safe drink to her and brought the spiked drink to him. I think that the comedic rhythm to the scene is delightful.

Love the scene in the office when Larry answers the phone and says "We were all tied up" and Moe's fist fles in from off-screen and SPLAT.
May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?
