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, Bubble Trouble, was recycled from another short, All Gummed Up, with what I estimate is around 80 percent of the same footage. (I actually watched them simultaneously). Somehow this fooled us when we were young.

So in this new series, I now give you a simple traditional cache (GC7K984 It's A Shemp! All Gummed Up), and this companion mystery cache, for which you can determine the coordinates using information from clips of both shorts.

First of all, from Wikipedia:

Bubble Trouble is the 151st short film released by Columbia Pictures in 1953 starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard). The comedians released 190 short films for the studio between 1934 and 1959.

The Plot:

The Stooges operate a local drug store whose landlord, the cantankerous Amos Flint (Emil Sika), informs them their lease is about to expire. Larry protests that the trio have had their establishment for a decade, and do not want to leave. As the four bicker, Flint's elderly wife Cerina (Christine McIntyre) enters the store, only to be berated by Flint for being an old hag. "25 years is enough," he coldly confirms. After he storms off, the boys take to the frail Cerina, who begins to weep that ever since she lost her beauty, Amos had threatened to leave. Both saddened and incensed, the Stooges offer Cerina their spare room in the back. Shemp, seeing this, hatches a plan to invent a "Fountain of Youth" to restore Cerina to her stunning beauty. Deeming the idea "tremendous, colossal and putrid," the Stooges flee to their pharmaceutical lab and mix a powerful serum.

After several false tries, the trio give Cerina a taste of their Fountain of Youth, and she transforms into a fetching beauty right before their eyes. To celebrate her return to youth, Cerina prepares a Marshmallow Jumbo layer cake. Shemp is assigned to get some marshmallows, but inadvertently retrieves bubble gum. The resulting celebration then finds the Stooges and Cerina blowing bubbles after every bite, with Shemp getting two bubbles out of his ears.

Several days later, Amos comes storming into the Stooges' drug store only to see the youthful Cerina flaunting her newfound beauty. Amos quickly reneges on his threat to evict the Stooges, and requests a dose of the youthful serum himself. However, Amos overdoses on the potent stuff, and transforms into a gorilla instead. Realizing this, he attacks the Stooges in anger. Once subdued, the Stooges get the idea to put Amos in a cage and make a mint off a traveling show involving the only talking gorilla in captivity. Moe adds that two talking gorillas would be even better and tries to get Shemp to take some of the concoction. Shemp knocks the spoon into Moe’s mouth, and the film ends with Moe acting like a gorilla.

Trivia:

Bubble Trouble is a remake of All Gummed Up, using ample stick footage. The new footage was filmed on October 13, 1952, nearly one year before the film's release. Critics and fans alike have observed that this film has a significantly better plot structure than the original, All Gummed Up. In the original, the climax occurs approximately four minutes before the end of the film, leaving room for a bubblegum cake scene. In Bubble Trouble, however, the bubblegum cake scene comes before the climax of the film. Both the original and the remake were directed by Jules White.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.

You will need to gather information from the clips in the cache descriptions for this cache and GC7K984 It's A Shemp! All Gummed Up.

Here is the clip from Bubble Trouble: Episode 151 Bubble Trouble Clip 1

The coordinates for the final are N41 45.XXX, W088 12.YYY.

XXX = Multiply the cost for 188 pieces of gum in cents by the number of bubbles Larry blows. Subtract the number of candles on the cake from this result. 

YYY =
