Have Rocket, Will Travel was the first feature film to star the Three Stooges after their 1959 resurgence in popularity. By this time, the trio consisted of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Joe DeRita. Released by Columbia Pictures, Have Rocket, Will Travel is reminiscent of Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953). In the Stooge comedy, the boys are portrayed as janitors who accidentally blast off to Venus and encounter a mysterious alien.
