What I have found out about the Shemp era of The Three Stooges is that all of the shorts produced in the 1940s were remade in the 1950's using lots of stock footage from previous shorts. It was a cost cutting measure used back in the day that mostly fooled all of us young viewers. This short, Out West, was recycled into another short, Pals And Gals, with what I estimate is around 70 percent of the same footage. (I actually watched them simultaneously).
So in this new series, I now give you a simple traditional cache, and then a companion mystery cache, for which you can determine the coordinates using information from clips of both shorts.
First of all, from Wikipedia:
Out West is the 99th short film released by Columbia Pictures in 1947 starring American slaptick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard, in his first starring role after returning to the act). The comedians released 190 short films for the studio between 1934 and 1959.
The Plot:
Shemp is suffering from an enlarged vein in his leg, and fears that it will lead to amputation. His doctor (Vernon Dent), however, advises that a few weeks in the old west will cure him. Upon arrival in a somewhat lawless town, the boys befriend the ruthless Doc Barker (Jack Norman). Barker listens to Shemp's story about his bad leg, mistaking "the biggest vein you ever saw" for a gold-bearing vein worth millions. The Stooges take a liking to Barker, but are later informed by the beautiful Nell (Christine McIntyre) that he is an outlaw who is holding the Arizona Kid (Jock Mahoney) hostage in the basement of the saloon.
The boys devise a plan to obtain the prison cell keys from Barker's coat. Shemp joins the outlaw in a game of Poker, while Moe and Larry prepare beverages for the card players. The two find every possible deadly chemical they can to add to their volatile drink. They also prepare a Sarsaparilla for Shemp to make sure their pal does not indulge in the suicidal drink. Barker downs the concoction, and screams for water. Shemp grabs a nearby fire hose and sprays the entire gang, soaking them. Moe and Larry quickly grab Barker's coat (claiming he will catch pneumonia) and get the cell keys to Nell, who frees the Arizona Kid. When Barker sees what has happened, he throws Larry in the cell with plans to kill him at sunrise.
Seeing how desperate the situation has become, the Arizona Kid goes to retrieve the United States Cavalry while Moe and Shemp attempt to free Larry using every tool they can find. Eventually, they spring Larry and defeat Barker and his gang.
Trivia:
Out West was filmed July 8-11, 1946, and is a remake of Pistol Packing Nitwits starring Harry Langdon and El Brendel. It would later be remade in 1954 as Pals And Gals, using ample stock footage
The congested vein is originally in Shemp's right leg, but he favors his left leg throughout the film.
