The Stooges, facing financial hardship due to rent arrears, reluctantly assume the role of babysitters for Junior Lloyd, under the guardianship of his mother, Joan Lloyd, who harbors fears of potential abduction by her estranged husband.

In their caretaking duties, Moe delegates kitchen responsibilities to Shemp, tasking him with the preparation of soup.

However, Shemp's misinterpretation of the instructions leads to the incorporation of soap into the culinary concoction, resulting in an inedible mixture that induces illness and bubble-blowing in the Stooges.

Upon awakening, the Stooges are alerted by Joan to Junior's disappearance and the open door, prompting their mission to retrieve the child from his father's residence.

Amidst the ensuing commotion, the Stooges encounter physical altercation, enduring foot injuries inflicted by a hammer-wielding Junior and receiving blows from Joan's ex-husband.
