Moe is on trial for assaulting his roommates Larry and Curly. Moe testifies in court. He needed peace and quiet. The guys took him into the woods and found themselves facing a bear.
At first, I'm concerned with Moe becoming quiet from his condition. Instead, he just got meaner and that's a good thing for comedic effect. There is one thing I wish they would do for the ending. The bear needs to come into the courtroom and chase the boys around. Moe chasing Larry and Curly takes it to a second level. If the bear shows up at that moment, it would take it to a next level situation.

"I'm a sick man, a very sick man"
Idiots Deluxe has the 3 Stooges coming apart as it were. Larry and Curly have finally brought charges against Moe for assaulting them. As this short subject opens Moe is taking the witness stand and telling his story in flashback to Stooge regular Vernon Dent playing the judge.
This judge hears how Moe has put up with all kinds of stupidity over the years and certainly recorded in many short subjects. It would be enough to drive anyone over the edge and the doctors tell Moe his nerves are shot and he needs peace and quiet. So why Moe would go on a vacation with the source of his anxiety is to me reason enough to question his sanity.
So at a nice cabin in the woods, Larry and Curly together with a bear drive Moe to commit more than the usual amount of mayhem upon their persons.
Very funny short, all Stooge fans should see this.
Oh, Woe Is Moe!
This was the film in which we first see Moe on trial for trying to murder Curly and Larry. The rest of the film, except for the ending, is a flashback and what led to Moe losing control and trying to murder his buddies.
It's fairly famous for that, and for the scenes with a bear out in the woods, who licks honey from Moe's glass and eventually drives away in their car while signaling for a left turn!! Who can ever forget that? No matter how many times I view those scenes, I laugh out loud. Those bear scenes are true Three Stooges classic moments.
This is one of the top 20 short films, in my opinion, of all time regarding The Three Stooges. It's full of classic slapstick scenes.
