Claim: Unable to find any bars selling beer, the Stooges (played neither by Moe Howard, nor Larry Fine, nor Curly Howard) opt to become bootleggers and brew some of the stuff themselves; then, when all three of them try to mix the same amount of ingredients at the same time the brew explodes.
Evidence: Beer Barrel Polecats is a 1946 short subject directed by Jules White starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard).
