Horses' Collars is the fifth short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges.[1] The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.

Plot

The Stooges are detectives in the Old West. They have been sent out to recover an IOU from Double Deal Decker (Fred Kohler), a ruthless killer who plans to take possession of a ranch that is rightfully owned by Nell (Dorothy Kent). After an unsuccessful attempt at a saloon, the Stooges head to Decker's hideout.

Production

In the film Curly has a violent reaction to the sight of every time he sees a mouse and goes into a fit.[1] The only cure is for someone to feed him cheese,[1] leading to the now-famous catchphrase, "Moe! Larry! The Cheese!"

This is the first short where the Stooges sing "You'll Never Know What Tears Are" in barbershop music style. This song would make an appearance in future shorts Half-Shot Shooters and A Ducking They Did Go.
