In Coleslaw-vania, the Stooges serve as fiddlers at the court of the Old King Cole who are subject to a decree from the monarch that prohibits their marital unions until the forthcoming nuptials between Princess Alicia and Prince Gallant III of Rhododendron, scheduled to coincide with the springtime bloom of flowers.
Amidst their endeavors to attend to their equine companions by fitting them with new horseshoes, the Stooges inadvertently stumble upon the captive Princess Alicia, ensnared and silenced within the confines of the castle floor.
In a bid for freedom, the Stooges ascend a rope ladder concealed within a magic box, inadvertently enduring the maleficent implements wielded by Murgatroyd in his attempt to thwart their escape.
Subsequently, a procession unfolds under the guidance of the assistant, comprising Murgatroyd, King Cole, and the Stooges, with the exception of Shemp, who, fatigued and parched, seeks respite.
As Shemp alleviates his thirst with a vessel of water, it disperses from the numerous perforations in his anatomy — a direct consequence of his participation in Murgatroyd's malevolent enchantment during the performance of the Sword Box Illusion prestidigitation.
