Set in a western town, the stooges are working as waiters in a saloon with the three girls they hope to marry. The proprietor of the saloon is a crook who, with his partner, has buried $40,000 of stolen money. The boys go prospecting in hopes of raising enough money to pay off the debts of their fiancée father, who owes money to their boss. They dig up the stolen money, which the crooks recognize as their loot and abscond with. A wild chase ensues, ending with the bad guy's car crashing into the Sheriff's office.

It's not the old west that the Three Stooges are doing their thing in Yes We Have No Bonanza. Instead Moe, Larry, and Curly are in the more modern west of Roy Rogers B films with people using automobiles as much as horses. The boys are working as waiters, singing waiters even in a saloon where they hope to make a stake and go prospecting. Lending authenticity to this western spoof is traditional movie western villain Dick Curtis who owns the saloon the Stooges work in.Both in the town scenes and later out on the desert I have to say that Dick Curtis looked like he was as enjoying this as much as the Stooges. In a sense Curtis was like Douglass Dumbrille who was a serious villain in many films, but then did comic villains and did them well with people like Abbott&Costello and the Marx Brothers.I guess the title sort of gives it away that the boys don't get fame and fortune, just a lot of laughs.
"Yes, We Have No Bonanza" is a very good Three Stooges Western directed by Del Lord. Moe, Larry, and Curly are waiters and bartender, respectfully, at a saloon called Maxey's Place. Their mission is to raise enough money in order to help three pretty saloon gals (Suzanne Kaaren, Lola Jensen, and Jean Carmen) pay off their father's debt to the saloon's crooked owner (Dick Curtis). The Stooges eventually decide that digging for buried treasure just might be the solution.Highlights: At the opening of this film, the Stooges and the three gals (who unfortunately don't sing very well) harmonize "Red River Valley" and "She'll Be Comin' around the Mountain When She Comes." Curly tosses a beer mug at Moe, who catches it successfully; Larry isn't so successful at catching, and the beer splashes in Moe's face, after which Moe bashes Larry's forehead with the mug. The funniest line in this short occurs when Curly explains to Moe, "I can see it now: me coming home from a hard day's work, I whistle for the dog, and my wife comes out." There exists the usual slapstick as the boys use picks and shovels to dig for gold. And for the ending, Curly recites the title of this film and gets knocked out with a brick."Yes, We Have No Bonanza" is quite an enjoyable Three Stooges short. Some Stooge fans might not consider this film to be a Western per se, because of the appearances of automobiles and scooters and such, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, "Yes, We Have No Bonanza" hits its mark in the laughter department.
I know I've seen this one a million times,BUT Is this the one where Curley says"Ain't Nature Wonderful"?I have a tapeworm's lunch bet on it! According to your guidelines, a comment have to be 10 lines or more. I don't think anyone of the Stooges shorts had more than ten lines of dialog, and you want 10 lines of comments? That's stretching things a little, don't you think, unless of course, the one's submitting comments are a bit on the long winded sort. I'm having difficulty stretching this request longer then I have proceeded so far. I still need two lines in order for this request to go through. I've already over burnt the toast for the tapeworm lunch, on the pure premise that I will be losing this bet in the first place, because this isn't the type of site I was looking for. A place where Stooge devotees could get an answer to questions that goggle doesn't even possess. Is that 10 yet?Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. It rottenly is! And I know that was spelled wrong, Spelt, if you're from the U.K.
The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! This is a very funny Three Stooges western short. All of the performances are very good and Curly is hilarious! Dick Curtis performs well as the villain and Lynton Brent does as well. Also there are brief but good performances by Vernon Dent, Jean Carmen, Lola Jensen, Suzanne Kaaren. I recommend this Three Stooges short!
