Deleted Scene Information
This deleted scene was cut from the 93rd short Three Loan Wolves which was released in 1946. Near the end of the short a boy who Moe Larry and Curly adopt tells him a story of where he came from. The boy would have triple slapped Moe Larry and Curly. This scene was most likely cut due to a kid hitting adults and due to the bad taste the scene was removed. The reason this scene is known to have been in the short is after the stooges finished their story they same to be holding their faces in pain.

To this day no known copies of the scene have been found or discovered.
