SYN: With their wives hot under the collar because the Stooges are unemployed, the Stooges land jobs with the Brighto Medicinal Company selling Dr. Brighto's Brighto, a cure-all medicine which the boys use for every other conceivable household task. Mistaking their miracle medicine for car polish, the Stooges manage to remove the finish clean off automobiles and burn through the shoulder of a policeman's uniform, creating a very tense situation. Naturally, sales do pick up, however, when the Stooges realize that Brighto is actually a medicine. They invade the Los Arms Hospital and peddle the stuff to everyone in the joint, including Dr. Harry Arms (who lost his hair buying a bottle from the Stooges earlier). In a furious rage, he chases them out of the hospital and back home with their wives, where they belong...unemployed and happy!

Quick Hits:

- The Stooges all have wives in this classic flick. In real life, Moe was married to Helen, Larry to Mabel, and Curly, not so lucky in love, was married four times.
