"Dizzy Detectives" is a 1943 short film starring The Three Stooges (this iteration consists of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard). It's all about three bumbling rookie policemen facing off against thieves (and a gorilla).

Who Done It? is a 1949 short film starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard. These Three Stooges play private detectives assigned to save a kidnapped millionaire.

'Fraidy Cat is 1951 short film that's an identical remake of Dizzy Detectives. That stars erstwhile Stooge Joe Besser, alongside Jim Hawthorne. And then Besser and Hawthorne teamed up for the 1955 Hook a Crook as well.

We watched all of these back-to-back, in our own self-inflicted, Three Stooges-themed take on Groundhog Day. Listen to Áine and Kevin slap around ideas like "Stooge fandom," plagiarism, and Áine's embarrassing double entendres.
