It is only after their nuptials that the Stooges discover that the Noonan brothers took a liking to the wives during the Stooges' recent absence, and vowed to kill our heroes if the weddings occurred.

Production notes

Shot in the Frontier was filmed on October 26–28, 1953, nearly one year prior to its release.[1] It is a parody of the 1952 Stanley Kramer Western High Noon.[2]

This is one of only two shorts released in 1954 containing all new footage, the other being Income Tax Sappy. Shemp Howard did not slick down his long hair in either film. This was because he had begun dying his hair by this time, and initially could not use pomade.[2]
