One of the stooges first but still one of their best

With this movie coming out in 1934 it was one of the first short movies they made but still remains as one of the best shorts they did.

The story involves Curly becoming a pro boxer who can't control himself every time he hears Pop Goes the Weasel song being played. Early in the film Curly is working as a waiter in a restaurant with Larry as a violin player who starts playing the Weasel song and Curly goes bonkers and knocks out a famous boxer who he was waiting on. That boxers manager seeing a potential boxing star signs Curly to box. After Larry's violin accidentally breaks he has to leave the arena and come back with a new way of getting the song played for Curly or he's sure to lose the big fight. Larry basically crashes a truck playing the song into the stadium but he gets there just in time to save the day.
