Plot
The Stooges are auto mechanics who need money in order to marry their sweethearts. While working in their auto garage, some escaped convicts pull in with a damaged fender. While the trio are working on the vehicle, they hear a news flash over the radio about some escaped convicts. They put the pieces together and realize that the baddies are right in their garage. The boys capture the crooks, collect the reward, and marry their sweethearts.

Production notes
Pardon My Backfire was the second and last short made by Columbia with the Stooges in 3D, the previous being Spooks! (released June 15). Pardon My Backfire premiered on August 15, 1953 with the 3D Columbia western The Stranger Wore a Gun[1] starring Randolph Scott and featuring Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine.
Like its predecessor, Pardon My Backfire took five full days to complete filming due to the complexity of capturing shots and angles required for 3D viewing. New Stooge films produced at the time generally took no more than three days to complete, with remakes being completed in a single day.[2]
This is the third and final Stooge short with the words "pardon my" in the title. This was also the last Stooge short featuring longtime supporting actor Fred Kelsey.[1]
