Short Take
The Three Stooges are broke and about to be evicted when Shemp’s rich Uncle Phineas comes for a visit. The Boys plead with their landlady, Mrs. McGruder, to let them stay, and she agrees when she realizes that Uncle Phineas (Emil Sitka) is her long-lost love (although The Stooges don’t know that.) Meanwhile, The Boys have to deal with their new neighbor, an extremely jealous professional strongman (Mickey Simpson), who discovers his wife (Dani Sue Nolan) in their apartment without her skirt, thanks to a clumsy Shemp in the kitchen.
