SYN:
It's Joe's camera, the picnic
was his idea, and the photograph he took of a blowing paper plate
belongs to him. But lazy cousins Moe and Larry interpret the photo
as a snapshot of a flying saucer, and use it to enter a photo contest
with a grand prize of $10,000. Not wanting to split the money 3 ways,
they simply forget to inform Joe that it was his photo that won the
contest. When the money had been claimed, they reminded him that if
he said anything about it, they'd quickly remember how to tear his
esophogus out. It doesn't take long, however, for the magazine editors
to get wise (especially when the photo alarmed the United States Government
into doing a full-scale investigation into the legitimacy of the photo).
Moe and Larry end up in jail, and Joe, now out of place to live wanders
hopelessly into the woods hoping to get a shot of a real flying saucer.
His logic is that surely with a photo of a real saucer, he can pay
to get Moe & Larry out of jail and restore his happy family. Moments
later, two hourglass shaped aliens swoop down in a spaceship to grant
the kindhearted Joe his photograph.....along with two steamy kisses.
Moe and Larry, however, don't believe the story....until they watch
Joe's ticker-tape parade - in straightjackets from their jail cell
window.
