The Three Stooges in Orbit Page #5

Synopsis: The Three Stooges, Moe, Larry, and Curly-Joe, are evicted from their hotel room and set out to find a new place to live while prepping for their new TV show. They end up settling at the home of the eccentric inventor, Professor Danforth. The professor is glad to have company in the house again. He is working on a new vehicle which he plans to sell to the military. Unfortunately, a spy from Mars is trying to steal it. When he tells the Stooges about the spy, they are of the opinion he has "been bending over those diagrams too long." But with their TV show in danger of cancellation, the professor says he has another invention guaranteed to save their show if they will help him safeguard his new vehicle. They soon discover the Professor may not be as crazy as he sounds when two real Martians hijack the vehicle, mount a laser cannon on it, and begin attacking the city. Now, the fate of the human race rests in the hands of (gulp) The Three Stooges.

I guess Tom was right,

maybe I am just an old crackpot.

-Oh, Father, it's not true.

-It is, Carol, it is.

As far as that flying

buzz saw is concerned.

Not this camera, honey. This is gonna

work just like I promised.

I'll make it up to them.

-Hi, professor!

-Hi, Carol!

-Boys, boys, am I glad to see you!

-We were so worried!

-I don't know what about.

-We got news for you.

We made a few minor adjustments,

and your chariot spins like a top.

You can tell the Air Force

to order another demonstration.

-We'll really show them something.

-In due time, due time, boys.

-Wait till you see the surprise I've got.

-Surprise

Okay, professor, don't get excited.

Okay, what

Well, here she is, fellas, all finished.

Hey, that's wonderful!

But will it work

Certainly! Don't you have

any confidence in the professor

Don't forget, boys, this is the 10th,

the day your contract expires.

-You've only got until 600 tonight.

-Six o'clock. By golly, he's right!

Don't worry, I'll get you under the wire.

We'll make a test film right now...

-...and rush it to the studio.

-You have things to do. I better get out of your way.

-Okay, Carol, good night.

-We'll see you.

Move this thing around and get

some lamps. We'll need lots of lights.

-Bring in that 10k over there, Larry.

polyunsaturated titanium...

Well, thank you very much!

-What are you doing Watch it.

Go ahead. Wait, a little bit

under your eyebrows.

-Well, you take care of it, sir.

-There you are. There.

-Just a dash.

-Thank you. You are so kind.

Hi. Oh, Carol, please. Look, it's only

fair to let the defense have its say.

-It seems to me you've had your say.

-I wanna make up for it.

-To you as well as to your father.

-My father's busy now.

Then I can explain it to you,

and you can explain it to him.

It was utter chaos. I was nervous.

I mean, after all, a general with a....

Carol, listen.

That does it.

Now, how about a little act Anything.

-I know something--

-How about the--

Oh, sure! I got it, the thing they're all

going daffy about!

-Got a radio, professor

-Over there.

-Okay.

-Yeah, music, that's what we need.

What's the matter

-Go in there.

-We'll get washed up--

-What a character.

-Cut it out.

-Stop clowning and talk English.

It wasn't me. It was them guys.

-Who are those jokers

-Why, they're actors.

Can't you see the makeup

The professor probably hired them...

-...before we got here.

-Foreign actors.

-Well, you're too late, boys. Beat it.

-See your agent.

Get some of that off.

Take the machine at once.

They must be from outer space!

Now see here, Andrews.

Not content with wasting my time with

that cockamamie washing machine...

...you have the colossal nerve to tell

me it's been hijacked by Martians!

Send all available interceptors,

alert all bases.

-Attack, eh

Whom are you trying to kid

Good heavens!

Hello, operator
