"Fiddlers Three" is the 107th 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.

Plot

The Stooges are fiddlers at the court of Old King Cole (Vernon Dent). They are forbidden by the king to marry their sweethearts until Princess Alicia (Virginia Hunter) weds Prince Valiant "when the flowers bloom in the Spring." Unfortunately, evil magician Murgittroyd (Philip Van Zandt) has his own plans to marry Alicia, and promptly abducts her. The Stooges, of course, do their best to foil his plot.

Moe, Larry, and Shemp try to put horseshoes on their horses when they fall through the floor and try to find a way out. As in "Restless Knights" they soon find the princess bound and gagged and rescue her by luring the guards out one by one where they knock them out.

Notes

*Like "Squareheads of the Round Table" and "The Hot Scots", "Fiddlers Three" was filmed on the existing set of the feature film "The Bandit of Sherwood Forest".
*"Fiddlers Three" was reworked in 1954 as "Musty Musketeers", using ample stock footage.
