SYN: Curly wins a $50,000 dollar radio contest for coming up with the best slogan for a popular product Stix-Fast Glue.

Curly's slogan: "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, try Stix-Fast Glue, and you'll be stuck too!"

To celebrate their newfound wealth, the Stooges decide to spend a night in the most luxurious Hotel in town, Hotel Costa Plente (and believe me, it does). They celebrate lavishly, well, too lavishly when they break a $5,000 dollar rare vase, drink about 15 bottles of high-dollar champagne, and tear up an antique bed that went back to Louie the VIII. In a matter of hours, they have three lucious golddigging women trying to spoon off their earnings. Then, after the hotel manager delivers their whopping bill, along with Curly's contest telegram, things go from bad to worse. Curly's telegram informs him that, after the normal tax deductions, only $4.85 remains out of his winnings!
