"Baby Sitters Jitters" is the 130th 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 become babysitters when they are behind on their rent money. They are sent to babysit Junior Lloyd whose mother, Joan Lloyd (Lynn Davis) is separated from her husband and is afraid that her husband might kidnap Junior. Meanwhile, Moe tells Shemp to go make soup in the kitchen. Unfortunately, Shemp cannot read well and thinks soap is soup. They eat the soup and get sick by blowing out bubbles. The Stooges fall asleep and Junior gets kidnapped by his father.

The Stooges are then awakened by Joan who notices that Junior is missing and that the door was open. She then sends the Stooges to her ex-husband's house to retrieve Junior.
