After Barker unwittingly consumes the toxic concoction and demands water, Shemp douses the gang with a fire hose, enabling Moe and Larry to retrieve the keys and free Nell's sisters.
When cornered by Barker's gang, Shemp ingeniously repurposes his gun belt as makeshift ammunition, intimidating the assailants into retreat and ensuring the Stooges' triumph.
[1] In an effort to imbue the recycled footage with a semblance of narrative cohesion, the character of Doc Barker meets his demise due to heart failure induced by imbibing Moe's Mickey Finn.
To mitigate this inconsistency and align pre-chase sequences with those from Goofs and Saddles, Stanley Blystone, who appeared as antagonist Longhorn Pete in the latter film, assumed the role of one of the gang members in Pals and Gals.
This strategic casting decision aimed to minimize the conspicuous disparity arising from Blystone's appearance in the recycled footage, particularly during the Stooges' escape scene.
