Said convicts are the Stooges, who are claiming innocence and attempting to escape to no avail. When the girls show up, they quickly marry them, only to realize they're still to be hanged. The next day, the ropes break and the governor pardons them (turns out they really were innocent). They make haste to the girls' home and move right in, much to the girl's shock. To get rid of them, the girls make them take lessons and baths, but the Stooges do every task so they don't have to leave.The lawyer tells the girls to throw a party, where the boys will more than likely wreck everything. Hilarity Ensues as the lawyer pays the butler to deliberately smack Moe in the face with a cake, which in turn leads to an epic pie fight between all guests. The lawyer turns up to declare he'll annul the marriage, only for the girls and the Stooges to pie him.
Tropes
- Exact Words: "Somebody give me a pie!" Taska screams, and Moe and Curly oblige — by hitting her with two pies at once.
- Also, when the Senator and Curly are about to pie each other:
Tiska: Gentlemen, GENTLEMEN! Please, PLEASE![Senator pies Tiska]Senator: We STRIVE to please! - Murphy's Bed: The Stooges have trouble being comfortable sleeping in separate beds, so they modify them into a triple-decker bunk bed. Yet, Curly has trouble getting up the top, so he stacks some nearby stuff to climb up. As he reaches his bunk, guess what happens next.
- Pie in the Face: This short gave us the first and
most memorable pie fight. - Stock Footage: The dancing lesson was from their earlier short Hoi Polloi
- Tempting Fate: Mrs. Gottrocks, after the pie the butler threw at her missed and hit the Senator instead:Mrs. Gottrocks: "You missed me!"
Butler: (throwing another pie right into Mrs. Gottrocks' face) "Oh, yeah?!" - Theme Naming: The girls Tiska, Taska, and Baska, and their Honolulu-bound boyfriends Tom, Dick, and Harry.
