What happens

Spook Louder is a 1943 comedy mystery short subject, directed by Del Lord starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 69th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959. The film is set in an eerie mansion. An inventor appoints the Stooges as the mansion's new caretakers. During his absence, spies attempt to steal his inventions. The Stooges have to defend the mansion from the intruders. The film was one of several World War II-era propaganda films featuring the Stooges, depicting the threat posed at the time by the hostile Empire of Japan. The film features the running joke of "a phantom pie-thrower". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
