Trivia
The last The Three Stooges short in which Curly Howard was involved in the entire production. Although Curly's stroke-impaired condition seemed to be on the mend here, he was left out of the final scene of the next Stooges project, Half-Wits Holiday (1947), after he suffered a debilitating stroke.

Goofs
When Curly says the line, "Because a hot stake is better than a cold chop!", Larry is seen mouthing parts of it.

Quotes
Moe: [Black Louie is using Larry as a human target for knife-throwing] Be careful you don't hit Larry.
Curly: Where is he?
Moe: Over there.
Curly: I don't see him.
Moe: Take off the glasses.
[Curly takes his glasses off]
Moe: Over there by the wall.
Curly: What wall?

fun stupidity

Larry, Curly, and Moe are bumbling sailors from a modern day garbage scow. They shipwreck and find themselves taken prisoner by a old time Spanish settlement. Rita Yolanda needs help to escape the Governor and recruits the three boys. They disguise themselves and seeks the help of pirate Black Louie.

It's such a weird mix for a premise. It's somehow old timey but it has all the modern technology like electricity. I wouldn't mind straight-up time traveling Stooges. Their fish out of water would add another layer of comedy. There is plenty of ridiculous hilarity in this one. It's fun stupidity. It would be nice for them to actually escape as an ending.
