SYN:
The Stooges, having lost numerous
acting jobs, decide to commit suicide by jumping off the roof of a
60-story skyscraper. Once on the roof, they meet three beautiful young
actress' with the same aspirations (jumping to their deaths). At the
last moment, however, the Stooges and the girls hear some wonderful
piano music and discover an eccentric millionaire, Mr. Boyce, who's
casting a new Broadway musical. He offers the boys and girls parts
in his new show, which they accept, with the Stooges rehearsing an
army medical exam sketch. Boyce is so impressed with all 6 of them,
that he offers to double their salaries to keep them all, and promises
to give them star billing in the musical. The party is on, and as
the six new superstars begin to jump for joy with excitement at their
newfound success. The generouse offer is cut short, however, when
two attendants drive up and haul Boyce back to Dr. Dippy's Retreat
Home for mentally ill patients. You can hear a pin drop before Moe
and Larry take the stage sand bags and begin dropping them onto their
heads as Curly beats his head against the wall in frustration. The
boys are once again faced with shattered dreams. Hey, at least they
got the goils!
