The Stolen Sweeties Phenomenon

With Benjamin Stoloff at the helm, Stolen Sweeties became to blend thematic complexity with stunning visual execution.

Fox's clever four-footed comedians, Pep, Max and Moritz, are the stars of this two-reel Monkey Comedy. Beginning with a scene at the seashore in which one monkey appears as a lifeguard, one as a girl and the other as her sweetheart, with the exception of a few scenes in which these animals "stand on their own" and perform some intelligent and amusing stunts centering around the attempts of several chaps to peep through a hole in a bathhouse and the efforts of one monkey to chastise the offenders, the entire action shows them as paralleling the experiences of some of their human friends. There is a beach beauty, her sweetheart and a lifeguard also. Events lead up to a double wedding, with the disappointed suitors kidnapping the two prospective brides and chase by the expectant fiancés, ending in their getting their girls back.
