Plot edit

While conducting a census in an apartment complex, the Stooges encounter Mrs. Lucy Wyckoff, a member of a husband-and-wife Magician Troupe. They soon discover that Mrs. Wyckoff's husband, Mr. Wyckoff, is not only her performance partner but also harbors an intense jealousy, manifesting in a propensity for lethal knife-throwing against perceived romantic rivals.

Upon Mr. Wyckoff's return home, the Stooges attempt unsuccessfully to evade his menacing presence. Faced with imminent danger, they hastily retreat and alert the authorities regarding Mr. Wyckoff's threatening behavior.

Production notes edit

"Don't Throw That Knife" was filmed on June 20–22, 1950.[1] The film title is officially listed with quotation marks around it (as in "Don't Throw That Knife").[2]

Author Michael Fleming noted that "Don't Throw That Knife" was the first effort by director Jules White that was a truly poor entry in the series. White had been alternating with Edward Bernds to direct the Stooges' films, with Bernds' efforts having a noticeable polish that White was beginning to lack.[3] By the following year, a power struggle at Columbia Pictures broke out, resulting in the departure of both Bernds and producer Hugh McCollum. This left White as the sole director of the Stooges films from late 1952 to 1957 when the trio's contract with the studio expired.[4]
