SYN: Carpenters Larry, Moe and Curly are working in an antique woodworking shop. As usual they find a way to dig themselves into a terrible predicament when they break a valuable Ming box belonging to Mr. Morgan, the irate owner. While on the run, they are nabbed by the cops who inform them that they just inherited their late uncle's ultra-smart Fifth Avenue Dress Salon, the Madame de France. They decide that their woodworking skills should just carry over into the clothing design arena and develop their own snazzy line of clothing. Well, at least so they think. They stage their first fashion show, during which they meet up again with the the angry Ming box owner who wants nothing more than to see the Stooges behind bars. The Madame de France quickly becomes a battleground for a giant creampuff melee.

Quick Hits:

- Did you know that Vernon Dent is the most recognizable foil for the Three Stooges. Heavy set, with a neat mustache, Dent often played authority types in Stooge Shorts.
