Crash Goes the Hash is a 1944 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 77th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who appeared in 190 shorts at the studio between 1934 and 1959. Plot Fuller Bull (Vernon Dent), the head of the ailing Daily News, confronts the reporters he hired for not getting him a story to keep up with a competing newspaper called the Daily Star Press. Bull catches three shirtmen (the Stooges) outside; thinking they are reporters from the Daily Star Press, he immediately hires them to get a picture of visiting Prince Shaam of Ubeedarn (Dick Curtis). Word has it that Shaam has plans to marry local wealthy socialite Mrs. Van Bustle (Symona Boniface). The trio disguise themselves as servants and work their way into a party being held at Mrs. Van Bustle's home in the honor of the prince. The Stooges all but sabotage the festivity by serving hors d'œuvres consisting of peas and dog biscuits (canapés/can-of-peas), along with a turkey stuffed with a live parrot. The prince leaves in disgust, with the majordomo, Flint (Bud Jamison, in his final appearance with the team) following close behind. Undaunted, the Stooges manage to expose both the prince and his majordomo as crooks who were planning to rob the house. The next day, the Stooges tell Bull that the man claiming to be Prince Shaam is not a prince, but a crook, and they had both him and Flint arrested. As a result of their findings, Bull becomes overwhelmed with joy, and tells the people printing the paper to stop the presses for an extra. He gives the boys a large bonus, and Mrs. Van Bustle thanks the boys for saving her from being robbed by Shaam by deciding to marry Curly. Cast Credited Production notes Crash Goes the Hash was filmed October 11–13, 1943. It would be supporting actor Bud Jamison's final appearance in a Stooge film. A Type 2 diabetic in his later years, Jamison appeared in 16 more films before his untimely death in September 1944. A devout Christian Scientist, he died on September 30, 1944 at age 50 after refusing treatment for kidney cancer. Its plainly visible to see that Curly is wearing odd socks in the first part of the film.
