Upon their return to their humble abode in the city dump following six months of fruitless prospecting, the Stooges stumble upon an orphaned young woman and her incapacitated younger brother, Jimmy, who have taken up residence in their shack.

During a tireless search for a replacement for their deflated car tire, Curly's serendipitous discovery of a can brimming with coins sparks excitement.

Initially, they explore the possibility of accruing interest on their modest sum in a bank account, only to be disillusioned by the prolonged timeframe it would necessitate.

Their predicament worsens when they fall victim to two confidence men who abscond with their meager $62 worth of savings and their automobile under the guise of providing a treasure map.

Involving the Stooges as miners helping a crippled orphan get money for his leg surgery, this film is notable for showing an uncharacteristically sentimental side to the comedy team.
