Here's from "Partridge's Concise Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional
English:"

	"in trouble, in difficulties: orig. London proletarian, since
	 late 19th Century.  From Yiddish, where it means 'difficulties'
	 and is pronounced 'stooch.'  'He took all the money and left
	 Abe in stooch,' (Franklyn, 1962)."
