SYN:
The Stooges are working in their
own restaurant and business isn't so "booming" when one
of their vendors shows up to collect for a $97.00 pastry bill. The
Stooges decide to take it to the streets in order to earn some extra
cash to save the restaurant. As bill pasters for the Carrot County
Fair, they notice a "Cow-milking contest - Grand prize $1000
bucks) and decide to enter Curly as a means to pay for their debts.
Only one problem...Curly has never milked a cow, and Moe and Larry,
can't tell the difference between a cow and bull. Nonetheless, they
figure it's easy money, so Curly get's elected and they enter him
into the contest. In the meantime, Curly must do some training and
Moe sends him into a pature where he sees a grazing cow (bull). After
getting tossed back over the fence 3 times, the training sessions
come to abrupt close and it's off to the contest. When Curly starts
lagging behind, Moe quickly dons a cow costume featuring a giant milk
bottle covered with a glove. His backup plan works successfully until
Curly yanks the glove off the bottle, causing the milk to gush out
all over the floor resulting in a very unhappy crowd, and the disqualification
of the Stooges.
