Plot
The Stooges' inheritance from their late Uncle Ambrose has been stolen by crooked investment broker Ichabod Slipp. The boys go over to Slipp's office to subpoena him, but he beats each of them up, rips up their subpoenas and then takes off on a train with the boys' inheritance. The Stooges then trail him to the train, and accidentally free a lion from the baggage car. Eventually, the boys capture Slipp and retrieve their inheritance money from him.
