SYN:
Mrs. Van Twitchett is in a terrible
predicament. She's throwing a huge party for some society matron friends
of hers, and has no escorts. So Van Twitchett has her maid look up
the Acme Escort Service in the phone book and take care of the issue.
When the maid (who isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer) accidentally
gives Van Twitchett the Acme Exterminator Service's number, things
get a little out of hand. Moe, Larry and Curly arrive on the scene,
more than happy to help. They end up dining with some most distinguished
people, teaching them an entirely different set of table skills, which
the guest somewhat enjoy and begin to imitate. Later, the Stooges
stage a fake musical act for the guests when they attempt to fool
the guests by playing instruments to a record player. Just about the
time, they blow their cover, Moe, hacking away at the Bass fiddle
with a handsaw, saws the instrument in half and out comes a whole
nest of mice. The guests part like the Red Sea, and the Stooges seize
the opportunity to do some exterminating....Stooges style!!!

Did you know that the gag of playing
musical instruments with the aid of a record player was reworked
by Abbott and Costello as the famous "All Right!" sketch?

The Stooges used record players to
get themselves into trouble in other occasions to - do you remember
the song "Voices of Spring" in the short Micro-Phonies?
