The Three Stooges in Orbit Page #3

-Oh, my, what happened

-Well, it was an accident, professor.

See, this is the work

of a birdbrained idiot.

Yeah, a birdbrained idi--

-Thank you.

-How about me

Yeah, and a mental midget.

Go ahead.

Look, Father, the mail!

The Army, the Navy and the Air Force.

I told you there'd be a scramble

for my machine.

The Army.

Professor Danforth. Dear sir,

your invention is most interesting...

...but we feel the submarine feature

makes it more suitable for the Navy.

-The Navy.

-The Navy.

The Navy feels the tank-tread

feature makes your device...

...more suitable for the Army.

Listen to this from the Air Force.

The airborne feature

of your unique vehicle...

...opens up interesting possibilities.

Accordingly, the Air Force

will accept your kind invitation...

...and send a representative,

Capt. Andrews...

...who will be pleased to witness

the tests that you propose.

Afterwards, if results warrant,

we will consider a demonstration...

-...of the full-scale vehicle.

-Oh, boy!

They're coming, they're coming!

I knew they wouldn't turn me down.

-Congratulations, professor.

-You sure put it over.

Thank you. You know, I stayed up

late last night testing the model...

...and everything worked fine.

Come, I'll show you.

Clean up this mess.

I'll clean it up when I'm ready.

-Oh, you will

-Yeah, when I'm ready.

-So

-So I'm ready!

Hello.

-I'm Capt. Andrews, Air Force.

-Won't you come in

Yes.

I'm Carol Danforth. I was hoping

you'd come-- My father was hoping....

Well, he's right over here.

The remarkable thing

about this model is that it operates...

...completely by remote control.

This is Capt. Andrews of the Air

Force. My father, Professor Danforth.

-And our guests Moe and Larry.

-How do you do, professor

-Are you making a mistake!

-I'm sorry, sir.

-That's a bigger mistake.

-No, no, no. I'm Professor Danforth.

Yes, excuse me, professor.

Well, here she is, captain.

What do you think of her

-Wonderful.

-When hard pressed by the enemy...

...it can take to the air, dash across

country or dive underwater.

As a matter of fact,

it even seeks out water.

First, I'll demonstrate

how it operates as a tank.

See that, captain It's gonna

revolutionize the art of warfare.

It'll even revolutionize revolutions.

Remember, the big machine

will do everything the little one does.

Could you ask for anything more

No. Oh, no, no.

Definitely not, it's excellent.

You know, captain, you're pretty

sharp. The Army and Navy didn't--

They didn't get here in time. Of

course, they're hot for it too, you know.

Prepare for the water test.

-Prepare for the water test.

-Prepare for the water test.

Captain, nothing can stop

this vehicle except this. Watch.

Captain, nothing can stop

this vehicle except this. Watch.

Ready for the water test.

-Ready for the water test.

-Thank you.

Now, when attacked

by antitank weapons...

...the pilot has only

to push a button.

Now, watch how it finds

the nearest water.

Wait a minute,

I gotta open the door.

Wait a minute!

-This way, captain.

-Yes, this way, captain.

Right this--

Professor, I think it needs

a little adjustment.

Oh, Carol, why don't you take

the captain and talk things over

Come on, captain, this way.

I don't understand.

Watch it, that thing's going berserk.

-Where is it

-I don't know.

Come in!

Who is it

Get out of here! Go on!

Sounds like Curly-Joe. Come on!

It's running wild!

Hey, fellas! Hey, professor!

The propeller!

What's going on in here

Turn that thing the other way!

Shut it off! Shut it off!

Hi, fellas.

Oh, remote control!

Cover your eyes.

Moe, Larry's cheating.

What are you doing

Shame on you.

Well, captain

Is the Air Force interested

Oh, yes. I can assure you, sir, the

Air Force is definitely interested.

That's wonderful!

The big machine will be ready

to demonstrate next week.

My baby, I just love you!

That's it.

How you doing, boys

Not much time left.

Don't worry, you'll be showing it

to the brass right on schedule.

Controls all checked out, professor.

Good, good, I'm working out all the

bugs on the cartoon machine too.

-She'll be ready.

-What a team.

-He's got the brains, and we've got--

-What

-The enthusiasm.

-That's better.

Larry! Joe!

-Shut it off!

-Turn it off!

Shut it off!

-Joe!

-Cut the motor off, Larry boy!

Pull the lever on the

compression chamber.

Larry! Joe! Shut off this thing!

-Larry! Joe! Help!

-Shut it off!

Hurry!

Shut it off, boys!

I'm sorry, Moe. It was an accident.

Oh. Well, this is on purpose.

Polka Dot. Sweetens the breath,

brightens the teeth. Tastes like pizza!

Polka Dot toothpaste,

for the smile of youth and beauty.

Polka Dot toothpaste,

for the smile...

...of glamour and beauty.

-Wait a minute, lunkhead.

-Why, what's the matter I'm busy.

-You're busy

-Yeah.

Get another big bag of water. The

airfield's in the middle of the desert.

So it's in the middle of the desert.

How you coming, professor

Oh, this will do for the demonstration.

My own secret fuel.

Got more get-up-and-go

than anything ever on the market.

-I don't believe you said that.

-Well, I did because it's true.

-Someone to see you, Father.

-Hello.

-She's all gassed up and ready to go.

-Wonderful.

I thought everything was set

for day after tomorrow.

It is, but Col. Lane would like to have

you at the base a bit ahead of time...

...to kind of go over the details.

He invited the area commander,

Gen. Bixby.

-Gen. Bixby!

-Tom's arranged to fly you there...

-...in his plane. I can go too.

-If it's all right with you, sir.

-Yes. Oh, but the machine--

-Don't worry about that.

-We'll get her there okay.

-Professor, you go with the captain.

-And leave the driving to us.

-They'll take good care of it.

-No, I'm more familiar with it--

-See you at Baldwin Air Force Base.

I wouldn't want anything

to go wrong, honey.

Don't worry, professor,

you left everything in good hands.

Don't worry, professor,

you left everything in good hands.

All right, let's get this mockingbird

on the road.

Here.

Moe!

Moe, we got a problem!

What do you mean,

we got a problem

All you have to do is drive this thing

right through that door. What--

Oh, no, it can't be.

Yes, it can. The machine is too big

to go through the door.

-Get away from here.

-What's that for

That's for not thinking of it before.

Now you guys get busy...

...and widen that door a few feet

while I check the controls.

-So we'll widen the door.

-All right, all right, take it easy.

-We'll widen the door.

-Go get the tools.

The tools there.

There's a dandy.

Yeah, you work on that side,

and I'll work over here.

Pick out a good spot here.

-That ought to do it.

-Hey, bubblebrain!

-What

-You're using the wrong side.

Wrong side

Oh, yeah.

How silly can you get

-Wait, you're still doing it wrong.

-What do you mean

-You mind if I show you

-No, but I, I'm--

Look, take this. See, when you got

a tool with two heads on it...
