''Hold That Lion!'' is the 100th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959. ==Plot== The Stooges are the sole heirs to a grandiose inheritance, but the money is in the hands of an underhanded broker named Icabod Slipp (Kenneth MacDonald). They try to claim the inheritance at the office of Cess, Poole, and Drayne. Their attorney, played by Emil Sitka, explains that he doesn't have their money and they have to find Slipp. While in the office, the trio try to help find some files and tangle with a very stubborn filing cabinet. One by one the Stooges confront Slipp in his office. He in turn accuses first Larry, then Moe, then Shemp, of being that crook Slipp, and successfully flees his office with the money. The Stooges follow Slipp on board a train. To avoid a conductor after them for tickets they hide out in a large crate in the baggage car. A lion (Tanner) is also in the crate, and the Stooges run, hiding in a sleeping berth. Larry convinces the others that they should rest and confront Slipp the next day. Moe sticks his bare foot out through the curtain and the lion licks it, causing Moe to laugh. The lion laughs himself after it takes takes two swipes on Moe's sole to start with. Moe wakes up and punishes Shemp, thinking he was the culprit. After they go back to sleep, the lion climbs up into the berth. The lion lays on all their feet, waking them up. After bickering with each other, they realize the lion is in their booth. The Stooges escape, pulling down all the curtains to the berths and waking everyone up. As they make their getaway in the confusion, the Stooges spot Slipp and take off after him. They chase him to the baggage car and finally defeat him, reclaiming their inheritance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hold That Lion!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
