Plot[]
The Stooges are guides (circa late 1800s), who are helping a trio christened "Nell's Belles" travel across the Rocky Mountains to San Francisco, the location of their next performance. While preparing some corned beef, a group of Indians urge them to get off their land as soon as possible. Since Curly scared off the horses earlier, the group are stuck there for the night. Unfortunately, snow falls while they sleep. They awake to discover a bear has devoured their food supply, so the three hapless guides try unsuccessfully to catch some fish in a nearby frozen lake. The fishing expedition is interrupted by Nell, who discovers the Belles have been kidnapped by the Indians. The Belles manage to escape, and the troupe leaves the Indians' land quickly.
Notes[]
- The film title is quite often mistaken for the 1945 feature film, Rockin' in the Rockies.
- This episode is the first appearance of Dorothy Appleby with the stooges.
