Calling All Curs is the 41st short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.
The Stooges are skilled veteranrians at a pet hospital who are the proud surgeons of Garcon, a prized poodle of socialite Mrs. Bedford (Beatrice Curtis). When dognappers posing as reporters (Lynton Brent andCy Schindell) dognap the poodle, the boys frantically try to trick Mrs. Bedford by disguising a mutt as the Garcon. However, Mrs. Bedford's maid (who is frightened of dogs) vacuums a clump of fur glued off of themutt's shaggy coat, Mrs. Bedford threatens to throw the Stooges in jail. Desperate, the trio use the mutt as a bloodhound to track down the crooks. When they discover the bad guys' hideout, Curly defeats them in a fight. The boys hear Garcon quietly barking from inside a closet, only to discover that the prized poodle has had a litter of pups.
