There was no Joe in the three stooges. They were Moe, Larry and Shemp/Curly
Moe and Larry were always the first and second stooges. At different times the third stooge was Curly, or Shemp, or Joe, or Curly Joe.
The movie you describe was never made. Curly Howard died before the Three Stooges made any movies, and he appeared only in short films. The third stooge in the Three Stooges movies was played by Curly Joe DiRita. Of the shorts (with Curly) I liked "Punch Drunk" the best. Of the movies (with Curly Joe) I liked "The Three Stooges in Orbit" the best.
The brothers Moe , Shemp and Curly Howard , Larry Fine , Joe Besser , [Joe Palma doubled for Shemp after his death] and Joe DeRita . (Emil Sitka was selected to replace Larry who had a stroke but this did not come about.)
Generically they were Larry, Curly and Moe. But in reality there were a total of SIX stooges that filled the roles. Originally Larry and Moe Fine, and Shemp Howard. Shemp was replaced with Jerry "Curly" Fine, and later by "Joe" Besser. The last stooge was Joe Derita as "Curly Joe".

The Three Stooges originally consisted of Moe , Larry and Shemp . Curly was a replacement for Shemp who went on to have a career in Hollywood independent of the comedy trio . Shemp returned to take the place of Curly who had suffered a stroke . The fourth Stooge was Curly since he had replaced Shemp but then in turn was subsequently replaced by Shemp who was one of the original members of The Three Stooges . Shemp died of a heart-attack and was replaced by Joe Besser who needed to care for an ailing wife and was , in turn , replaced by Joe DeRita . Christine McIntyre (16 April 1911 - 8 July 1984) is sometimes referred to as the fourth stooge .
The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy act of the early to mid-20th century best known for their numerous short subject films. Their hallmark was physical slapstick comedy punctuated by quickly-delivered one-liners, within outrageous storylines. The basic premise for all their work was that they would take any job they could get no matter how little they were qualified for it. See the link below for a detailed biography of the Three Stooges and the characters who made up the act.
