What happens

Fiddlers Three is a 1948 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard). It is the 107th entry in the series released by Columbia Pictures starring the comedians, who released 190 shorts for the studio between 1934 and 1959. The film depicts a trio of fiddlers as court musicians in the court of the Old King Cole, traditionally identified with the 4th-century Romano-British leader Coel Hen. They are asked to perform in the springtime nuptials of Princess Alicia, but Alicia is kidnapped by an evil magician. The musicians confront the kidnapper in a swordfight, partially to ensure their own freedom. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
