COMMENT: Set in Colonial times, this very welcome period offering from the boys has a great start. Amusingly satirizing a similar scene in Captain Blood (1935), it presents the Stooges as three felons (love their musical chains!) who are sentenced to transportation. Arriving in America, the boys perform a diverting jig with three pioneer girls named Faith, Hope and Charity.
Unfortunately, the routine slapstick of the small-scale Indian ambush climax doesn't live up to expectations. But nonetheless...
