Kook's Tour is the title of an American short comedy film produced in late 1969-early 1970. It was the final film to star The Three Stooges. The Three Stooges was an American comedy act in the 20th century. ...
Kook's Tour was conceived by Moe Howard's son-in-law (and frequent Three Stooges collaborator), Norman Maurer, as a weekly television series that would have mixed the Stooges' brand of slapstick comedy with a documentary travelogue format. The concept of the series was that, after 50 years of comic mayhem, the Stooges (Moe, Larry Fine and Curly Joe DeRita) have retired and are travelling the world with their motor home and motor boat (which is transported from place to place via a cargo plane).

On Jan. 9, 1970, Larry Fine suffered a severe stroke. (Sources vary as to whether Larry died before or after the film was completed.) When it became clear that Fine was not expected to recover fully from the stroke, production of the series was cancelled and the Kook's Tour pilot film was shelved. A television pilot is the first episode of an intended television series. ...

At the end of Kook's Tour, Moe promised that the second episode (ultimately never produced) would have taken place in Japan.
Following Larry's stroke and the cancellation of Kook's Tour, several attempts were made to revive the Stooges (with Emil Sitka replacing Larry), but no further films were produced before Larry and Moe's deaths in 1975.
