The Three Stooges' Second Act

The Three Stooges' Second Act (alternatively The Three Stooges Too, or The Three Stooges Sequel, or simply The Three Stooges 2) is an American slapstick comedy film which is a follow-up to the 2012 film, The Three Stooges: The Movie. The film is directed by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, who directed the first film.

The film takes place one year later and the Stooges travel to a town called Towne, where the town is based around the 1934-1946 era of the original shorts. The story also features a new character/antagonist who was paid by Lydia, to get revenge on the Stooges.

Plot
One year later, the Stooges, the nuns and the kids are at a funeral for Sister Ricarda (as she died from lung cancer, a stroke and cerebral hemorrhage). After the funeral, they return to the orphanage and spa. As they get to the door, the Stooges found out they left their handmade tombstone (which is a rock with Sister Ricarda's name carved in it). As it was Curly's fault he forgot to bring it. Some time later, the Stooges have a conversation about the times they had with Sister Ricarda. Then, Moe remembers they need to work on their routines.

Later, they do their first routine, "Slowly I Turn". However, the act backfires. Though, they get it right at the end. They work on other random routines. The last two routines they do are, "Enchanted, Enraptured, Embalmed" and "The Toughest Men From the State of... Texas!". Curly stops them there as they are from Lake Winapasakee. As Moe was about to slap him, Sister Bernice shows them a channel showing them at the comedy club last night. She also shows a newspaper of the Stooges on the headline. One of the nuns decide they should spread their act. The Stooges nod to each other and make an announcement that they leave the orphanage, move to a new town and show their acts to the people. Sister Bernice asks them how they will get there.

They show them a 1933 Chrysler Imperial without a roof. They start to leave, but Sister Rosemary asks them where. They show them a postcard of a place called, Towne. Sister Mary-Mengele asks them when. The Stooges reply to her that they leave today. She sarcastically says "good luck" to them. Some of the nuns mention the last time they left by themselves. Mother Superior gets them to calm down, as she thinks they will be fine out there again. Before they leave, Curly asks them to take care of Nippy, as he can't come with them. They now drive off and say their goodbyes. As the nuns and kids go back inside, a man disguised as a bush sees them drive away. He gets a call from the now-in-prison Lydia, as she seeks revenge on the Stooges.

After three days of driving, the Stooges stop at New York City. As they didn't bring food on the trip, they decide to go to the Chinese restaurant (and later get kicked out because of a fight they had inside). The Stooges decide to stay in New York for the night to continue their trip. However, their car gets stolen. They forget about the car and find a place to sleep for tonight. They sleep in a dumpster (as they previously did in the first film).

The next day, the Stooges decide to hitchhike. Since nobody has given them a ride, they instead walk the rest of the way. They later become tired from walking. They then spot a 1931 Cadillac V-16 Convertible that they think is abandoned. As they get in, they see the keys left in the ignition. They start to drive off, and after they do, a man comes back from urinating in the bushes. He discovers his car is gone. He runs to the nearest town for the police. Meanwhile, the Stooges continue their trip to Towne.
