SYN:
In an opening segment very similar
to Laurel and Hardy's Towed in a Hole, the Stooges are fish vendors
working out of San Diego, CA. When their business begins to flounder
(no pun intended), a Mexican real estate agent with a language barrier
mistakenly sells them a beauty saloon instead of a beer saloon as
they had requested. When the Stooges arrive south
of the border to investigate their new purchase, they are disappointed
but soon realize that there's money to be made in making homely dames
look beautiful too! The first customers are four pretty ladies who
need their hair dyed for a new stage revue that is playing in town.
Larry, Moe and Curly find the job is simple...well almost. The girls
emerge hairless, bruised, eyebrowless, and encased in cement. Pedro,
the ladies manager is more than irate and threatens to fill the Stooges
full of lead. A hasty escape is made as the angry and battered women
grab pistols and begin shooting at the Stooges who are running aimlessly
into the sunset in merry ol' mexico.

Hits:
-
You'll notice in this short that Curly
makes reference to his "last wife", ironically, in real
life Curly was married four times.
-
Curly's wiggling ears were achieved
through invisible threads (a gag Stan Laurel used many times).
