The arrival of the Devil, represented by the enigmatic figure of Mr. Helle, introduces a moral dilemma, as he seeks to entice Shemp with hedonistic temptations personified by the seductive allure of Helen Blazes.

Amidst this existential quandary, Uncle Mortimer intervenes, offering Shemp a chance at redemption and eternal bliss in Heaven contingent upon his covert return to Earth to influence the moral rectitude of Moe and Larry.

Meanwhile, Mr. Helle, in his diabolical guise, incites Moe and Larry towards acts of moral turpitude, suggesting fraudulent schemes such as soliciting financing from a wealthy couple for the production of novelty fountain pens.

Following the extinguishment of the conflagration, Shemp recounts his dreamlike experience to Moe and Larry, prompting a comically anticlimactic response from his cousins in the form of a cream pie assault and a sardonic offering of writing implements.

However, an error by the special effects team resulted in the pen's sharp point penetrating Larry's skin, causing a significant laceration and substantial bleeding.
