Fuelin' Around is the one-hundred-sixteenth Columbia Pictures short subject starring the Three Stooges.
Plot[]
The Stooges are carpet layers working at the home of their friend, Professor Sneed (Emil Sitka) and his daughter, Hazel Sneed (Christine McIntyre). Sneed is developing a rocket fuel in secret for the government. Anemian spy Captain Rork (Philip Van Zandt) from a fictional European country of Anemia watches the professor through his front window, with hopes of kidnapping him. The Anemians accidentally capture the Stooges instead, mistaking Larry for the professor. Trouble brews when the Stooges are required to quickly create some of the fuel, and then write down the formula. It does not take long for the Anemians to capture the real Professor Sneed, along with his daughter, and throw them in jail until the formula is disclosed. Thanks to a shy prison guard (Jacques O'Mahoney) who cannot help but flirt with Sneed's daughter, the group make a quick exit by successfully getting out of the fortress immediately by using the fuel into the fuel tank and blasted out of the fortress, out of Anemia and back to America.
