A TONIC for the BLUES!
The stooges are three doctors who graduated medical school by being in it for too many years. They come across such problems as an overly chirpy nurse, a mental patient, and a combination to a safe swallowed by the hospital superintendent in the course of their attempt to get through the day.

It’s hard to imagine anyone ever giving Curly, Larry and Moe a job playing in the sandpit let alone in an hospital, but given that they graduated with the “highest temperatures in their class” they have been sent to a busy hospital to help out. That’d be the ultimate triumph of hope over expectation as this trio race around the corridors responding to emergency calls as only they can! I am not really a fan of this sort of slapstick comedy, but there’s no doubt that these three have an almost perfect ability to work in marvellously co-ordinated concert. Their antics and escapades all come across as entirely natural, and their abilities to perform amidst a supporting cast of actors who manage to keep a straight face as chaos increasingly reigns around them is impressive. Medical science provides plenty of fertile territory for them and this one culminates with a bit of comedy faux-surgery that rather sums up their enthusiastic haplessness. Though I doubt I’d need to watch this again, it does rattle along for an hectic twenty minutes of skilful synchronicity.
