Wee Wee Monsieur is the 29th short subject starring American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges. The trio made a total of 190 shorts for Columbia Pictures between 1934 and 1959.

Plot

The Stooges are artists (Moe is a sculptor, Larry is a music composer, and Curly is a painter) living in Paris. When the landlord comes after the overdue rent, the boys skip out and wind up accidentally joining the French Foreign Legion that they confuse with the American Legion. Posted to the desert, their assignment is to guard Captain Gorgonzola from the natives. When the captain is kidnapped, the boys must disguise themselves and try to rescue their captain.

Notes

• This is the first short in which the Stooges sing the "Lollipop Song," which they would sing again in Self-Made Maids.
• When Curly jumps out of the apartment window, he can clearly be seen landing on the sidewalk rather than the melons that magically end up on his feet.
• The title Wee Wee Monsieur is a parody of Oui, oui, Monsieur (French for "Yes, sir").
