Plot

Employed as janitors within a newspaper establishment, the Stooges chance upon a significant journalistic opportunity upon discovering the theft of the priceless Punjab diamond from a local museum, orchestrated by the malevolent antagonist Dapper Malone. Motivated by aspirations of transitioning into authentic reporters, the trio embarks on a quest to locate Dapper, masquerading convincingly as law enforcement officers within Squid McGuffy's cafe.
