SYN: In just a few short hours, the Stooges will be happily reuinted with their fiancees from overseas. In celebration, the Stooges start drinking toasts to their brides-to-be, and end up plastered. After a ferocious spritzer bottle standoff, Shemp ends up on the losing end. When Shemp passes out, Moe and Larry place him in a tub of cement for a "burial at sea." Upon sobering up and realizing their mistake, Moe and Larry decide to get Shemp out of the cement. Uh-oh, looks like a great opportunity to blast!!! Moe and Larry dynamite Shemp out of the apartment and follow closely behind. After being blown into oblivion, they end up landing on a nearby dock where their fiancees just happen to be waiting for their little loveboats. The girls excitedly jump on the boys (not seeing that Shemp is in a tub of cement) and in a flash Shemp and his fiancee go flying into the bay leaving nothing but a splash to remember them by.
