HAVE ROCKET -- WILL TRAVEL (1959)

Film Pick of the Day
Wednesday, June 10, 2026

The space agency's latest attempt to launch a rocket into space has failed, and Mr. Morse (Jerome Cowan) lays blame with Dr. Ingred Naarveg's fuel formula. Janitors Moe, Larry and Curly Joe want to help her, and break into the laboratory at night to concoct their own special brand of fuel. Wrecking the lab in the process of pumping the fuel into the rocket, the Stooges find themselves on the run from Morse when he stumbles across their latest disaster. Hiding in the rocket, they accidentally launch themselves into space on a collision course with the planet Venus, where they find a giant flame-breathing tarantula, and a talking unicorn whom they befriend. But also waiting for them is a computer brain that controls the planet, which plans to create robot replicas of the Stooges and conquer the Earth.

The final reel finds the Stooges back on Earth to a heroes' welcome, and recreates the party scene from HOI POLLOI (1935).

If the voice of the unicorn sounds familiar to some, it's Dallas McKennon, the voice of 'Archie' (THE ARCHIES) and 'Gumby.'

Costar Robert Colbert ('Dr. Benson') is best known as star of the TV series THE TIME TUNNEL.
