SYN: The Stooges are veterinarians in their very own unusual dog hospital. Garcon, the pet of a very wealthy woman (Mrs. Bedford), is a prize pooch who is about to be entered in an uppety dog show. Two crooks (Tony and Duke) up to "no good", pose as newspaper reporters so they can sneak in and steal the Bedford dog and hold it for ransom. Unable to recover the canine in time for his delivery back to Mrs. Bedford, the Stooges disguise another dog with similar features. They cover him with black mattress stuffing to make him resemble the real Garcon. At the Bedford home, when the boys introduce their Garcon look-a-like, the maid accidentally sucks off the pup's disguise with her vaccuum. The Stooges then frantically enlist the aid of a hunting dog to sniff out the missing pooch. Successful, the Stooges are able to track down the crooks in their hideout. They get inside and overpower Tony and Duke, and locate Garcon to find that Garcon is a she and she's sporting a freshly baked batch of puppies.
