Brideless Groom

However, Shemp's demeanor swiftly shifts upon learning of his unexpected inheritance of $500,000, prompting a sudden change in his disposition towards his deceased uncle.

Faced with the urgent need for a bride, Shemp frantically reaches out to various acquaintances in his address book, proposing to multiple women in a desperate bid to meet the stipulated deadline.

However, his attempts prove futile, leading to a series of calamitous misadventures orchestrated by Moe and Larry, including the inadvertent engagement to Miss Dinkelmeyer and encounters with aggressive ex-girlfriends eager to capitalize on Shemp's newfound fortune.

As the wedding ceremony ensues, chaos erupts as the multitude of prospective brides converge upon the justice's office, igniting a frenzied melee of physical altercations.

Moe and Larry find themselves ensnared in the escalating turmoil, enduring blows and comedic mishaps amidst the tumultuous pursuit of matrimony.

The film features longtime Stooges supporting player Emil Sitka's best-remembered line "Hold hands, you lovebirds!"

The shot where Sitka has a birdcage smashed on his head was worked into the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction when Eric Stoltz is watching television.

Brideless Groom features a sequence with Christine McIntyre who portrays Miss Hopkins, a woman whom Shemp actively pursues for his wife.
