In their second comedy short of 1957 (and the second to feature Joe Besser as the "third" Stooge), Muscle Up a Little Closer is one of the team's better later efforts. Joe has misplaced his engagement ring and thus cannot get married to Tiny Ray (Maxine Gates. The boys suspect that beefy Elmo (Matt Murphy) has stolen the ring but are too chicken to approach him. Happily, Tiny isn't and the ring is returned.
