“Aint’ love grand.” (Curly)
Short Take
The Stooges are in love. After they arrive at their girlfriends’ house they ask them to marry and the girls say yes. But “Papa,” says no, so the Stooges stage a sit-down strike and stay in the house until they get the nation’s sympathy. The father lets them marry, but they face a new problem… building their new do-it-yourself home. The girls refuse to have a honeymoon until the house is finished. The second problem, Curly accidentally burns up the blueprints.
