In the Dough is a 1933 American Pre-Code comedy film starring Fatty Arbuckle and featuring Shemp Howard of the Three Stooges.

He died of a heart attack in the early morning hours of June 29, 1933, the day after completing work on the film.[1]

Plot

[edit]

Roscoe starts his first day of work at a bakery on the same day that local gangsters pay a visit to his boss, Mr. Shultz, demanding protection money. When Mr. Shultz refuses to pay, the gangsters plant an explosive-laden cake in the bakery. When the lead gangster's moll throws a birthday party for him, she orders a cake -- and it turns out to be the same booby-trapped cake. Seeking revenge, the gangsters descend on the bakery and begin throwing dough around. Roscoe escalates the battle by breaking out the pies, and the crooks are subdued.
