They Stooge To Conga is the first episode of the fourth season of the Three Stooges Collection. In this episode, the Three Stooges are musicians who are hired to perform at a party in a Latin American country. However, things quickly go awry when they accidentally get caught up in a scheme to overthrow the country's dictator.
The episode begins with the Stooges playing music at a local restaurant. They are soon approached by two men who offer them a job playing at a wealthy man's party in a nearby country. The Stooges eagerly accept the offer and soon find themselves on a boat bound for the party.
When they arrive, they are greeted by the wealthy man's daughter, who gives them a tour of the house and introduces them to the other guests. It quickly becomes clear that the guests are all plotting against the country's dictator, who they feel has become corrupt and abusive.
The Stooges are not interested in politics and just want to play their music, but they soon get caught up in the plot when they accidentally knock out the dictator's bodyguard. They decide to dress up in the bodyguard's uniform in order to avoid suspicion and continue playing at the party.
As the night goes on, the Stooges find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations as they try to avoid detection by the dictator's guards. They stumble upon a secret room where the conspirators are preparing for their coup, and they accidentally trigger a trap that almost kills them.
Despite their best efforts to stay out of the way, the Stooges end up getting caught up in the chaos that ensues when the coup finally takes place. They are mistaken for the dictator and his bodyguard and are taken hostage by the rebels.
In the end, the Stooges manage to convince the rebels that they are not the dictator and his guard, and they are able to escape and return to their own country. They are relieved to be back home and vow to never let themselves get caught up in anything political again.
Overall, They Stooge To Conga is a hilarious episode that showcases the Three Stooges at their zaniest. With their trademark physical comedy and slapstick humor, they manage to turn a serious situation into a laugh-out-loud comedy of errors. Fans of the Three Stooges will love this episode, which is sure to leave them in stitches.
