Synopsis
Ted Healy is a salesman for the Schmidt Costume Shop who likes to hang out at the fire station where Moe (billed as "Harry Howard"), Larry and Shemp (along with Fred Sanborn) work. Old man Schmidt spends more time building crazy inventions (typical of devices by writer/cartoonist Rube Goldberg) than tending to his business; as a consequence he is bankrupt and his business is taken over by his creditors, who send a young man named Carlson to manage the business. Carlson immediately falls for Mr. Schmidt's niece, Louise, but she resists him.Actors

At the studio, the Stooges accidentally ruin each other's work, but calm down when the models arrive. The models agree to the Stooges' proposals, and they go to ask their father for their hands in marriage. The Stooges bump into the models' father, but do not know his identity. He gets mad at them, but the Stooges get even with their usual style. The models' father later denies their proposal request when he recognizes them as the "hoodlums" who accosted him earlier.

Later, all three couples finally have a baby of their own.
