Expanding on this plan, Larry and Shemp propose offering fraudulent deductions services to others for a fee, thus positioning themselves as "tax experts".

Their scheme proves lucrative, leading to a period of opulence for the trio, who amass considerable wealth from their deceitful endeavors.

During a dinner event with a client, Mr. Cash, whose distinctive beard inadvertently falls victim to Larry's clumsy hand, tensions escalate due to a series of mishaps and the Stooges' ineptitude.

Mr. Cash, revealing himself as an undercover agent for the Internal Revenue Service, promptly calls for backup to arrest the Stooges for tax fraud.
