A satirization of the Oscar winning film A Street Car Named Desire (1951). Larry mimics Brando in the story which takes place on a train car named Schmow. The most controversial Stooge short. While it is considered by some to be the most daring, contemporary and innovative of all Stooge shorts, others contend it is the worst Stooge short ever made.
