SYN: The Stooges are now ex G.I's confronted with all the trials and tribulations of discharged veterans. Their biggest problem is finding a home for their three lovemates, Jessie, Tessie, and Bessie, who have been dispossessed. The Stooges and their future wives finally make their home in a vacant lot. They try their best to make their newfound love-nest provide all the comforts of home, like fresh food (bird eggs from a nearby tree) and nice freshly vaccumed carpet (the grass). Yes, all is seeming quite well and normal until a tractor comes along plows over their little loveshack and destroys it. Now, once again down on their luck and few options left, they convert a one-room apartment into a midget sized bungalow where the six retire after their wedding ceremony.

Quick Hits:

- Did you know that the housing shortage was very real for many G.I.'s returning from WW II?
