Hugs and Mugs is the 121st 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.
After a prison stretch for jewel robbery, three beautiful women search for a pearl necklace the police never found. Unfortunately for them, the warehouse where they hid it sold the pearls for back storage fees to three furniture repairmen, Moe, Larry and Shemp. The girls follow the Stooges to their shop, and pretend to flirt with them as a distraction, so they can search the shop for the necklace. But the molls' gangster ex-boyfriends are hot on their trail, and slapstick mayhem ensues when the Stooges come to the girls' defense.
