SYN:
Shemp is a sick dude. He continues
to suffer from halucinations even after his release from the local
sanitarium. His most constant hallucination is imagining that the
hospital's nurse, Nora, is a vivacious blonde and not fat and ugly
which is the real truth. What makes matters worse is that Shemp is
engaged to marry her! In the process of returning Shemp to the sanatarium
for a second time, Moe and Larry confront a fat man in the telephone
booth, causing the booth the crash to the ground. Enrageds, the man
promises to tear Moe and Larry apart if he ever sees them again. Next,
Moe and Larry are seen with Shemp and Nora on their wedding day. Shemp
and Nora end up married as planned, and Moe and Larry are too late
to save him. Not only do they have that to deal with, they find out
that Nora's father is the man in the telephone booth. He fulfills
his promise by beating them both to a pulp.
