The Stooge is a comedy film from 1951 about a clumsy man named Bill Miller who dreams of becoming a vaudeville performer. He meets a successful entertainer named Ted Rogers and they form a partnership, with Bill playing the role of the stooge. As their act becomes popular, Bill's clumsiness starts to become a hit with audiences. However, their partnership is tested when Bill's selfishness and drunkenness start to cause problems. Eventually, Bill learns the importance of selflessness and the value of their friendship.
Eddie Kehoe is a young vaudeville hoofer who thinks his inability to hit the big time is the fault of stage managers, agents, musicians...everybody but himself. Eddie likes to tell others how good he is, but seldom shows them. Kitty Mayo, an old-time burlesque queen, who is with the McNary Vaudeville Company, advises Eddie to get himself a partner, as his solo abilities can only be stretched so far. He decides to follow her advice and, while in a theatrical supply shop, he sees Rita Carey rehearsing her dancing act that includes a trained duck. Eddie tells Rita he is a good friend of McNary's, and, with him as her partner, her future in show business will be secured. She agrees to join him and Eddie promptly names the act "Eddie Kehoe and Partner". Despite his conceit, Rita likes Eddie, as do others in the troupe, including Cleo a little gold-digger.
