 "Disorder in the Court " is one of four Columbia Stooge shorts that fell into the public domain after the copyright lapsed in the 1960s, the other three being "Malice in the Palace" (1949), "Sing a Song of Six Pants" and "Brideless Groom" (both 1947).As such, these four shorts frequently appear on budget VHS and DVD compilations.The presumed perpetrator is a dancer named Buck Wing, a reference to the buck-and-wing dance common in vaudeville and minstrel shows.
