Notes

* "Fifi Blows Her Top" is a partial reworking of 1950's "Love at First Bite", using minimal stock footage from the original. [Solomon, Jon. (2002) "The Complete Three Stooges: The Official Filmography and Three Stooges Companion", p. 504; Comedy III Productions, Inc., ISBN 0971186804]
*"Fifi Blows Her Top" marks the final appearance of longtime foil Philip Van Zandt. The despondant actor committed suicide shortly after filming wrapped, and did not live to see its release.
