Plot
Quiz show victor Joe falls victim to the deceptive tactics of fraudsters G. Y. Prince and R. O. Broad, who swindle him into investing his winnings in Consolidated Fujiyama California Smog Bags. Seeking restitution, the Stooges embark on a quest to reclaim Joe's lost funds by visiting the offices of the perpetrators. Instead of encountering the swindlers, they encounter two seemingly empathetic businessmen who propose a deal: they will reimburse the losses if Moe, Larry, and Joe agree to pose as juvenile wards for wealthy eccentric Montgomery M. Montgomery and his conniving wife, Lisa.
