Plot[]
Once again, the Stooges are three hapless tramps. After nearly destroying a farmer's pile of firewood, the boys come to the assistance of the Widow Jenkins, who has just been cheated out of her land by a trio of swindlers. Attempting to fix the woman's well, the Stooges instead unleash an oil geyser. They manage to retrieve the deed to the land and are allowed to marry the now wealthy Widow Jenkins' daughters. Moe tells Curly to wish for quintuplets, and Curly replies, "We'll honeymoon in Canada!" (A reference to the Dionne quintuplets).
