“If I’m going to work like a horse, I’m gonna eat like one.”
Short Take
At the end of World War II, the Stooges are discharged from the service and return home. They are prepared to marry their fiancées (Judy Malcolm, Ethelreda Leopold, and Doris Houck), but are dispossessed. The Boys search around for a room to rent, and hit blind alley after blind alley until finally settling for an open-lot-turned living quarters. All goes well with the unusual setup until a farmer on a tractor plows down their domicile.
Afterwards, The Stooges build a pathetically small apartment from “their own little hands”, with the living room, dining room, and kitchen cramped into the space of a den.
