SYN:
Our trio the Stooges are window washers working away,
when Curly almost falls off the scaffold. Moe and Larry have to jump
inside the window of a dentists office to get enough leverage to pull
Curly back up onto the scaffold. While inside, they are mistaken for
the dentist by a patient suffering from a severe toothache. The Stooges
knock him out and knock out more than just a tooth when they have
to blast. Nevertheless, all works out for the best as the man comes
to, he thanks the real dentist for a job well done. The Stooges are
then abducted by a millionaire by the name of Ajax Bullion. Bullion,
dresses the Stooges as children and presents them to his wife as three
refugees: Johnnie (Moe), Frankie (Curly), and Mabel (Larry). The next
day, Mrs. Bullion throws an expensive party to show off her newly
aquired offsprings to her uppety friends. Curly comes into the party
smelling like a brick of limburger cheese (he rubbed it on his chest
to clear up his cold, mistaking it for vapor rub). The Stooges are
so cute and adored by the guests that Mr. Bullion gets irritated.
Knowing that the Stooges smoked up all of his cigars, he reaches his
boiling point and chases them out of the house with an axe.
