An Ache In Every Stake	comment	An Ache in Every Stake is the 57th short film released by Columbia Pictures in 1941 starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges. In it, the Stooges are ice deliverymen that have fallen asleep in their delivery wagon. Their horse wakes them up. Curly finds his face and head embedded in a large block of ice after having used it for a pillow. Moe and Larry break him out of it, and they begin their ice block deliveries. After several deliveries they are called to make a delivery at a house atop a long, high staircase. It's so high that every time they go up, the ice melts to a small cube. They make several attempts including relaying it successfully to the top, only to have Curly drop it. It's during these attempts and arguments that they bump into Mr. Lawrence (Vernon Dent) and ruin his cakes. When the Stooges antics cause the servants at their customer's (Bess Flowers) house to quit, they volunteer to replace them and prepare dinner for her husband's birthday party. Unknown to them, her husband is Mr. Lawrence, whose cakes they had wrecked earlier in the day. They then suffer many mishaps as they don't know the first thing about cooking.Although different stairs are used, the short takes a lot of inspiration from the Laurel and Hardy short The Music Box.

An Ache In Every Stake / int_222dc873	comment	Black Comedy: When Moe tells Larry to fill a cake with gas to make it look bigger. Larry misinterprets the command, "Take the gas pipe," to mean he himself should suck on the gas pipe. Moe, naturally, gets annoyed and ends his scolding with, "I'll kill you later. Personally."

An Ache In Every Stake / int_35ae6a23	comment	Lethal Chef: Moe, Larry and Curly sing a song to Mr. Lawrence as they wheel in his cake, the gist being if his stomach hurts later, not to blame them because he knew they baked it when he ate it. It's meant as a joke, but considering they filled it with natural gas, it's more accurate than they think.

As the staircase scene was filmed on location, it's believed they were some local children who wandered onto the shoot and got chased off by the film crew.
