Short Take

The Stooges sell fish and are getting nowhere, so they quit for another business… running a bar. Falling to the charm of a shady real estate man (“You give me the money, I give you the business”), they buy a saloon in Mexico only to learn they’re now the owners of a beauty salon. Making the best of the situation, the Stooges have nothing to lose and become beauticians. Their first customers are four beautiful local girls. Yes, beautiful. But, for how long?
