A Hit with a Miss (1945)

5 | Dec 13, 1945 (US) | Comedy | 00:16

It's a laugh-loaded winner!

Shemp Howard is a prizefighter in this Columbia All-Star Comedy who has a complex that leaves him a coward and unable to fight unless he hears "Pop Goes the Weasel." He hears it enough here, from various and outlandish sources, to eventually win his championship match.
