Set in the Old West, the Stooges are wanted for vagrancy and in order to escape custody Moe suggests for them to leave for a town known as Peaceful Gulch.

Meanwhile, the once-tranquil town of Peaceful Gulch faces turmoil as the notorious Red Morgan and his gang intimidate the populace and drive out the sheriff.

In a bid to restore law and order, members of the sheriff's posse devise a plan to deceive Morgan and his cohorts by fabricating the arrival of three renowned marshals.

Tasked with thwarting Morgan's efforts to plunder a stash of money, the cash is hidden with the Stooges in an old house believed to be haunted.

With swift action and comedic flair, Shemp incapacitates Morgan's gang using a hatchet, thereby emerging as the unlikely hero of the day, and restoring order to Peaceful Gulch.
