Plot

The Stooges, positioned as suitors seeking approval for their matrimonial aspirations from a reticent prospective father-in-law, initiate a sit-down strike within the confines of their fiancees' abode. Their protest garners widespread attention, propelling them into the limelight and eliciting a deluge of fan mail and offerings, including a parcel comprising a "ready-cut" house. Despite the father-in-law's concerted efforts to solicit governmental intervention in their eviction, legal recourse proves elusive, compelling him to acquiesce to the Stooges' matrimonial desires to quell the unrest.
