SYN: Gas Station attendants Moe, Larry, and Curly are learning all about the fine art of "Super-Service" when they blow up an old Rolls carrying three foreign professors. The Stooges in a need to make a quick getaway take off in an ice cream truck that accidentally ended up with one of the professors trunks. When the stooges need to put on some dry clothes, they look in the trunk only to find three professor's garbs complete with cap & gown. Two of the college campus big wigs spot the Stooges on the side of the road and immediately assume that they are their three long-awaited college professors on the way to the the infamous Mildew Girls College. In class, the Stooges teach the girls how to "Swing the Alphabet", and instruct them on the finer points of playing football. The Stooges end up borrowing a basketball which ends up being a loaded bomb. It seems in an effort to seek revenge, the professors fill the ball with nitroglycerine hoping to blow the Stooges into oblivion. Needless to say, this episode ends in a bang!

Quick Hits:

- The "Swingin' the Alphabet" song was comercially released on a 1960 album when Joe DeRita was the third Stooge. But you can download it from the StoogeWorld Sounds Page.
