This gets from me a 2 for plot, 3 for dialogue, 3 for slapstick, 2 for pretty girls, and 3 for the stooges and the supporting cast. Moe gets a 3 just for his six-guy smack alone. There's a montage here on youtube someone compiled of Moe's slaps from the first ten or twelve shorts and someone in the comments there said what you said about how Moe's six-man smack would impress Bruce Lee, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk,nyuk!!. Just key in the words Moe slap-happy to find the video.
Awesome review guys, and I have the same feeling about this one as you, even down to the fact it took me a while to see how great it is. Like I mentioned in the RESTLESS KNIGHTS post, this is Del Lord's first Stooge effort, and that to me is a major reason for the step up in quality.
I actually would also give this short an extra credit point for unintentional humor: during the clay fight when the cop gets hit with the clay, falls against the wall and gets hit by the bust that falls on his head, he falls to he ground since he's supposed to be knocked unconscious but as he slumps to the floor you can clearly see a smile on his face, I'm assuming because he can't stop himself from laughing.
I would have loved it if you guys sighted another example of just why this was one of the funniest shorts they ever did: I agree with you, and for me, one example of a really funny moment in this short that I was hoping you two would mention is the scene at the end when Moe calls everyone to gather around him and he barks "Who started this?"(the clay fight), someone says "You did!" and Moe responds by smacking SIX GUYS-- Larry, Curly and 4 other guys--with a single swat! Funny stuff!

Anyway, yeah so I give this short a 23 because it gets an extra credit point for unintentional humor for the reason I said months ago.

Yeah! Six guy with one slap. Bruce Lee could have taken a few pointers from Moe!
