Roast Beef and Movies (1934) is a short subject starring George Givot, along with Curly Howard (billed as "Jerry Howard"), Bobby Callahan, and the Albertina Rasch Dancers. (The film does not feature Ted Healy or the other Stooges and is the only known solo screen appearance of Curly Howard without his brother Moe.) The music is by Dmitri Tiomkin, who was married to Rasch at the time.
Notable in this film is Howard being more of a "middle stooge," similar to Larry Fine's character in the Three Stooges films, and using his real voice without the "Curly" inflections. Calahan played the "dumb" character that Howard would normally play.
The short, filmed in two-strip Technicolor, uses the "Chinese Ballet" segment from the MGM movie Children of Pleasure and the "Woman in the Shoe" segment from MGM's Lord Byron of Broadway (both 1930).

The Stooges are the Wrong brothers (a parody of the Wright brothers), a trio of aviators in the "Republic of Cannabeer, P.U." who receive an army draft notice. The notice says the brothers have been granted a 30-day deferment of duty on account of their claims that the plane they are inventing, the “Buzzard”, will revolutionize flying. Curly proudly announces that their plane has put them among other "great inventors" like Robert Fulton, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and Don Ameche.

The powerful Emperor Octopus Grabus (Vernon Dent) is in search for a new wife again, with his sights set on redheads. Lovely Diana (Marjorie Deanne), who has kindled Grabus' interest, hides out in the Stooges' shop. A palace guard catches onto the scheme and all are brought to Grabus which are condemned to be fed to the lions at the colosseum. The boys help Diana escape, while Moe and Larry convince Curly to dress up as Octopus's prospective bride. These two then destroy the glasses of the nearly-blind Grabus, who cannot see past his nose. The Stooges make a rapid escape by jumping out a palace windows, but end getting caught, upside-down, on the spears of two guards, even on the horn of a rhinoceros and are sent to the colosseum which they meet their executions.

The Stooges are janitors in a doctor's office working the night shift. The usual antics occur, first with Moe getting an electrical shock down his pants, leading to a cossack dance. Then, Curly gets his head wedged inside a fish bowl, containing a live fish. Though Moe and Larry eventually slide the bowl off, Curly starts to feel the swallowed fish tickling his insides. Moe manages to fish the aquatic critter out of Curly.
